Diffuser Extended Special L – 25mm acrylic-ceramic elbow and diffuser

This CO2 diffuser suits keepers of freshwater tanks in the 250–500 l range who want a clear, durable diffuser that can be fitted to the glass in a custom position. The 25 mm ceramic fibre sinter is paired with an acrylic body, so the unit is transparent and does not crack the way glass does.

Why it matters

• Fibre-based sinter: the diffuser is made from ceramic fibres that are formed, sintered and pressed under high pressure before a second firing. According to the manufacturer this produces smaller and more numerous micropores than a standard ceramic sinter, and the material is denser and harder.
• Acrylic body: the body is fully transparent, which makes the diffuser hard to notice in the tank. It is also unbreakable compared with a glass body, and it leaves room for an internal bubble counter.
• Bendable tube: the tube can be bent into an elbow with heat from a lighter, so the keeper sets the glass thickness and the position of the elbow relative to the tube length. The total height is 40 cm, and the tube can also be trimmed.
• Included accessories: two large suction cups with a hole for the diffuser tube are supplied, along with two spare tubes for practising the bending process.

What it works with

The diffuser is intended for CO2 injection in freshwater aquaria and is listed in the CO2 systems category. Its 25 mm sinter is matched to tanks from 250 to 500 l. Because the tube length and elbow position can be adjusted, it can be installed alongside standard CO2 regulators and bubble counters in a wide range of tank layouts.
