Diffuser Special S – 12mm acrylic-ceramic diffuser

This diffuser is for aquarists who run a CO2 system on a small or medium tank and want a compact unit that does not break easily and does not dominate the aquascape. It combines a 12 mm ceramic fibre sinter with a transparent acrylic body, so the diffuser stays in the background while the plants remain the focus.

Why it matters

• Fibre sinter: the manufacturer describes a process in which ceramic mass is formed into fibres, pressed and fired more than once. According to the supplier, this produces micropores that are smaller and more numerous than in a standard ceramic sinter, and a denser, harder element that is less prone to clogging over time.
• Small 12 mm sinter: the diameter is smaller than typical diffusers of similar output, which reduces the visual footprint in the tank.
• Acrylic body: the body is transparent and, unlike glass, is not brittle. The transparent housing also allows an internal bubble counter to be fitted and read.
• Mounting and fitting: two large suction cups with a hole for the diffuser tube are included, and the 16 cm total height can be reduced by trimming the tube.

What it works with

The technical data assigns this diffuser to aquariums from 20 to 100 L, so it fits smaller and medium tanks in a CO2-injected setup. It connects to standard 6 mm (4/6) tubing, which matches common CO2 regulator and bubble counter kits. Before first use, the manufacturer recommends soaking it in water for 10 minutes.
