If you want tiny bubbles and big plant gains, the Aquario Neo CO₂ Normal Original makes it easy. Its micro‑pore ceramic disc vaporizes CO₂ into a super‑fine, cloud‑like mist that dissolves fast, and the Original series adds a built‑in bubble counter right in the clear chamber for simple monitoring. Made from rugged, ultra‑transparent acrylic that looks like glass but won’t shatter, it’s a clean, high‑performance upgrade for both rimmed and rimless tanks.
Key Features & Benefits
- 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 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 mist for rapid and efficient plant absorption.
- The versatile straight-tube geometry installs effortlessly alongside the walls of both rimmed and rimless aquarium configurations.
Technical Specifications
For maximum efficiency, always place your diffuser in an area with active water movement, such as directly under your filter's outflow stream, to distribute the rising micro-bubbles evenly.

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.
