Aquario Neo CO2 Curved Original Diffuser
The Aquario Neo CO₂ Curved Original series brings a clever twist to the classic Original line. It features a factory pre-bent neck that hooks cleanly right over your glass rim, eliminating those awkward, looping hosing lines that mess with the crisp look of your aquascape. Even better, it manages to keep the built-in bubble counter chamber integrated right into the base. Made from a crystal-clear acrylic that gives you the premium look of glass without the stress of accidental breakage, it splits your gas into a super-fine, cloud-like mist so your plants get maximum carbon absorption with zero hassle.
Key Features & Benefits
- An innovative pre-bent curved neck hangs cleanly over your glass rim, eliminating ugly, looping flexible utility lines.
- An integrated bubble counter chamber design lets you track your daily dosing rate easily without adding external inline equipment clutter.
- The heavy-duty acrylic construction is shatterproof, providing vast safety improvements over fragile, easy-to-snap glass alternatives.

Additional Information
- Submerge the entire diffuser in clean water for 30 minutes before connecting it to your gas line. This primes the micro-pores of the ceramic membrane, ensuring it produces a fine mist instantly on startup rather than large, wasteful bubbles.
- Over time, natural organic film or algae can accumulate on the ceramic surface, causing the bubbles to grow larger. When this happens, simply soak the diffuser in standard household bleach for 10 minutes, then rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and a generous dose of aquarium water conditioner to completely neutralize any residual bleach before placing it back in your tank.
