The Importance of Stainless Steel CO2 Diffuser in Aquarium

The Importance of Stainless Steel CO2 Diffuser in Aquarium

Carbon dioxide is one of the essential elements in the growth of aquatic plants. How to control the amount of carbon dioxide and ensure the fineness is also an important step. Aquariums need carbon dioxide, but how to make more carbon dioxide dissolve into the water? We know that whether the gas can dissolve into water depends on the solubility of the gas and its contact area with water. The solubility is obviously not suitable for our aquarium because it needs to be changed through temperature or pressure so that you can only change the gas quantity in water by changing the contact area. The stainless steel CO2 diffuser emerged at the right moment. It makes the bubbles very small and dense, so as to increase the contact area of gas and water, increase the quantity of gas dissolved in the water, and reduce waste.




The stainless steel CO2 diffuser is made of stainless steel, and the filter itself is full of fine capillary tubes. Carbon dioxide is a water-soluble inert gas. When carbon dioxide passes through the filter, the refiner can refine it into very small bubbles, thus increasing its contact area with water and improving the solubility in water. Meanwhile, it is also very helpful for the photosynthesis of aquatic plants.



Algae growth and gas diffusion will occur when carbon dioxide refiner is used for a period of time. Some of you will try to use a razor blade, toothbrush even steel wool to clean it, but you may not notice that the algae have grown into the capillary tubes of the thinning, so no matter how hard you brush, the algae can’t be eradicated. In other words, the blocked refiner is still not dredged.

In fact, 84 disinfectants are used to completely drown the CO2 diffuser and leave it for half a day, then there will be no green algae on the refiner. After that, take the refiner out of the 84 disinfectants and rinse it with clean water. Finally, soak it in a basin of fresh water for half a day. The purpose of this step is to remove the residual 84 disinfectants in the refiner, so as not to cause damage to the aquatic organisms and nitrification system in the aquarium.

The stainless steel CO2 diffuser will be like a newly purchased one after the series of treatment above, and the outlet of CO2 bubbles is particularly unhindered in use.
