Diffuser Sizes for my Tank?

[Jag1980]

For my 29 gallon tank.

A Nano Diffuser or a Larger Diffuser?

If your diffuser diffuses the Co2 gas I don't think it would matter what size the diffuser is. The pressure is the same and it will get diffused the same way if it was big or small, It will all come out in tiny bubbles correct?

I was going to get this: http://aqmagic.com/store/product_in...diffuser-for-220-ltr-tank&cName=diffuser-spio

But i was told by the person at AQMagic:
"We suggest that you go in for Spio VII instead of Spio III (you would require at least 3 Spio III)"

I would personally just use a cheap wooden airstone, plus is this the same aquaticmagic from ebay/aquabid?

I've got a 30gallon and I use the nano-diffuser. It works fine.

Nano diffuser should be fine if you're using DIY CO2. If you're using pressurized, I'd go for one rated for 30 gallons.

Yes

I will be using Co2 injection as soon as I get a bottle ordered, I already got my Co2 regulator in the mail.

Don't waste the money, running into your cannister filter will be free and more effective.

1. If I had a 1" diffuser vs. 2" diffuser, what is the difference on why one is not good for larger tanks?

2. It will all diffuse the same way no matter how much gas you are flowing correct?

3. Will a smaller one break with too much pressure trying to supply a larger tank?

4. Is a wood airstone good with a Injection system?

What's a good way to release the gas to my Canister inlet, Just a open Co2 hose?

I have it snaked up the input. Just the plan old tube. It works very well.

Does it make noise when the bubbles hit the propeller?
I'm trying to make my tank setup completely silent.
Right now the only noise I have is the bubbles chopping up in the power head which is extremely annoying..
I just ordered my bottle today so I'm trying to figure out a setup before I get my 5lb tank
