BettasAreSuperior Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi all, I wanted to install a co2 diffuiser in my aquarium after I saw one of Irene's videos showing she had a co2 diffuser and she has a low-tech tank so I'm confused. I thought co2 diffiusers were for high-tech tanks? How do you set one up? Can I use it for low-tech tanks? Will it make things more complicated? Just explain eveyrthing you know about co2 diffusers, I'm so confused, please help.Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Keeper Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Well for one, Cory has said in the past that unless you have like 50 plants in your tank then you don't need a CO2 diffuser. All it will do is just make the plants grow faster, which can the tank to be a handful with trimming. Besides that, I know from when my mom set up her CO2 system that they can be a bit of a pain sometimes when it comes to finding that sweet spot of controlling how much CO2 it diffuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to skip on the co2. I just had one quick question: how do you set it up and what parts do you need to set it up?

Native Keeper Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 For the set up my mom did, we just got the Fluval CO2 diffuser kit, and some extra Fluval CO2 cartridges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) There is no reason to add a CO2 diffuser if you are not going to inject CO2. Edited January 3, 2022 by Mmiller2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
