So, my package o' stuff for my biotope package has been lost by FedEx. I am now moving in a week or two, so I guess I don't really want to set it all up right now anyway.. But on to my question. I ordered a small powerhead for my tank that I will run an airline to so the CO2 can be diffused in the powerhead output. I had read that this was a good way to go, but I was reading a few websites yesterday that said this was not as efficient as a glass diffuser. What has been your guys experience, if any, with running DIY CO2 to a powerhead for diffusion?

well, the powerhead is quicker, but the glass dome is 100% efficient, so IDK whichever you prefer

Both work well, and the powerhead will give you the added benefit of some water movement.

Which ever you like. I use a diffuser and am happy with it.

Thanks for the replies. I will stick with the powerhead then.
