A CO2 diffuser is a device used in planted aquariums and aquascapes to distribute carbon dioxide (CO2) gas evenly and efficiently into the water column. Its primary function is to dissolve CO2 gas into the aquarium water, providing essential carbon for aquatic plants to thrive. Here's a detailed overview of CO2 diffusers:
Function:
The main function of a CO2 diffuser is to break down the CO2 gas into tiny bubbles and disperse them throughout the water column.
As the CO2 bubbles rise through the water, they come into contact with the aquatic plants. The CO2 then diffuses across the plant leaves' surface and is absorbed by the plants during photosynthesis, promoting healthy growth.
