ProFlora Taifun Inline 12/16 – CO₂ diffuser

This inline diffuser is intended for keepers of planted freshwater tanks who want to dose CO2 through an external canister filter. It injects CO2 into the water flowing back to the aquarium, so the plants receive dissolved carbon rather than gas bubbles rising straight to the surface. It suits tanks in the 40–300 L range.

Why it matters

• CO2 is the main carbon source for aquarium plants and drives photosynthesis, which in turn releases oxygen into the water.
• The internal membrane mixes CO2 into the circulating water, and the fine bubbles dissolve readily, which the manufacturer states saves about 20% CO2 compared with other diffusers.
• An integrated bubble counter lets you read the dosing rate directly, and a check valve is built in.
• The kit includes the diffuser and a wall bracket, so it is ready to connect without extra parts.

What it works with

The diffuser is designed for planted tanks running an external filter, because it sits on the filter's return hose and requires that water path. Install it as close to the filter outlet as possible and mount it vertically so the bubble counter reads correctly. It is rated for tanks from 40 to 300 L and connects to a standard 12/16 CO2 supply hose.
