Hi guys
I have some thread algae/BBA in my tank due to low CO2/bad circulation. This is how the nano looks like (without the hardscape):

Specs:
30x15x25cm
150l/h external mini cannister filter
Full EI dosing
4,5w LED, 7 hours/day
CO2 injection through diffuser (+ liquit carbon atm against the algae)
So the flow goes from left to right (30cm) with the diffuser in the front right corner. This gives good CO2 distribution at the front but not at the back.
I don't like using liquid carbon because I'm often away during weekends. I can put a longer spray bar at the back but I'm afraid this will decrease circulation even further (150l/h in theory but much lower in reality, Chinese filters ...). Inline diffusers are not an option because the diameter of the outlet tubing is 11mm.
Does anyone know how I could improve the CO2 distribution with the diffuser?
Thanks for the help,
Gilles
*edit* I noticed that the Up Aqua atomizer is available in 8/12mm. I assume this will fit?
