If you already use an external or regulator-mounted bubble counter under your cabinet, you don't need another one hogging space inside your display. The Aquario Neo CO₂ Normal Special Diffuser takes the same size configurations and high-performance atomization of the Original series, but strips away the built-in bubble counter. This gives you a highly streamlined, ultra-low-profile appearance that completely avoids drawing attention away from your aquascape.
Key Features & Benefits
- The minimalist design removes the integrated bubble counter chamber for an ultra-clean look that keeps the focus entirely on your aquascape.
- The heavy-duty acrylic construction is completely shatterproof, providing vast safety improvements over fragile, easy-to-snap glass alternatives.
- Specialized micro-hole ceramic membrane technology vaporizes gas into an ultra-fine, cloud-like mist for rapid and efficient plant absorption.
Technical Specifications
| Size | Disk Size | Tube Height | Tank Size |
| Tiny | 8mm | 6.25 inches | 8 gallons or less |
| Small | 12mm | 6.25 inches | 13 gallon or less |
| Medium | 17mm | 6.25 inches | Up to 32 gallons |
| Large | 24mm | 6.25 inches | 32 gallons or larger |
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.

The Tiniest Diffuser Imagianable
"This thing is seriously TINY!!!! I'm running co2 in a 3 gallon/ 9" cube and needed a diffuser that wouldn't totally dominate the space. This one is barely noticeable even in such a small tank, and puts out great misty bubbles. Shipping was also insanely fast!"
Aquario Neo CO2 Normal Special Diffuser
"I was hoping to use it with a low pressure CO2 source, since I am just giving CO2 injection a try at this point. (My experience is all very low tech up to this point. ) I foolishly believed AI, which said this diffuser would work with this kind of set up. It doesn't. I soaked it for 24 hours and tried it with an air pump I have on hand and even the air pump does not apply enough pressure. So far I am happy with the results of a low tech CO2 injection, so I may go with a higher tech system, and then I will definitely use the diffuser, because it's elegant and small and looks lovely in my tank, especially compared to the upturned make-up jar I use as a diffuser now. The product itself is very nice, but I think the product description should specify the pressure required."

Q&A
- Does this require any other equipment to be used?
- Hello Jami, thank you for your question. In order to use the diffuser, you'll have to have a Co2 system set up and Co2 tubing. With this set up, you can use the diffuser for your tank. We hope this information helps. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
- Do the diffusers come with a suction cup or does it attach to the top of the tank
- It does come with a suction cup.
- Does the large diffuser have a hook on the end? I have a 30" deep tank and need the diffuser closer to the bottom of the tank and a hook would impede me putting it closer to the bottom.
- Hi Stacey, Thank you for reaching out to us! The Normal Special series do not have a curve on top. Only the Curved series will have a pre- bent tube. You may also consider diffusers in the Extended series, since diffusers in that series have a longer tube and will provide a cleaner look.
