Hi,
At the moment I am using 2 large Bazooka Atomizers in my 180L tank.
Yet again I am having trouble after cleaning them.
I connected them this morning, at 06.15am, outside of the tank and placed them in jugs of water and switched on the co2.
Eventually the co2 came through and the bazookas were fizzing away. Then, as seems to be normal I was unable to adjust the bps and,the the bps stopped but the atomizers remained fizzing. It was impossible to adjust bps.
I turned the co2 off at about 0715am but still, now at 0830am the atomizers are still bubbling away and I assume this is because of the pressure build up in the bubble counter and lines.
I am thinking of replacing the bazookas with 2 x ceramic glass diffusers. I was thinking of two 3cm diffusers.
Would this be enough and would they work sufficiently enough in my 180L tank?
Also has anyone any recommendations of decent diffusers.
I will add that I have tried putting the co2 directly through the filter but the filter did not like that, with lots of burping and large amounts of trapped co2.
I also have 2 inline atomisers but since I changed filters to an APS 2000L the hosing is too large for my 16/22 atomisers
I am hoping that two glass diffusers will be enough to do the job.
Thanks
