If you are running a deep micro-tank or an ultra-compact rimless nano setup, finding equipment that fits without causing a massive visual distraction can be a serious challenge. The Aquario Neo CO₂ Extended Diffuser (Tiny edition) solves this perfectly by combining an ultra-small 8mm micro-ceramic disc with an extra-long, 15.65-inch rigid acrylic stem. This extended profile allows you to route your gas lines straight down to the base of your substrate without running ugly, flexible airline loops inside your display glass.
Key Features & Benefits
- The hyper-compact 8mm ceramic disc size is tailor-made for micro layouts, providing maximum gas dissolution with a minimal footprint.
- The ultra-streamlined design completely removes the built-in bubble counter chamber to give you a pristine, low-profile look.
- The heavy-duty acrylic body is shatterproof, providing a safe, resilient alternative to notoriously fragile glass diffusers.
- The extended acrylic body can be gently heated and custom-bent to perfectly wrap around your specific tank rim thickness.
| Size | Disk Size | Tube Height | Tank Size |
| Tiny | 8mm | 15.65 inches | 8 gallons or less |
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.

Good product but too long for current nano tank
"Too tall for my current tank but will keep it on hand for future tanks."
Neo CO2 diffuser
"Very good build quality, works great and creates very tiny bubbles which are essential. Definitely worth the price."
Perfect for a nano tank
"Small, tiny diffuser, perfect for a nano tank!"
Good product
"Works as advertised timely delivery"
Not good
"My second Neo diffuser. This one produces larger bubbles overall, and has two spots on diffuser that produce larger bubbles that go straight to surface and are wasted. First one was a small, works great, microscopic bubbles, my new tiny, not so much. Disappointed. Went to Buce because I was under the impression they were top shelf."
