I tried a co2 misting experiment I would like to share. It's very simple. I took a length of rigid airline tubing and melted the end shut over a candle. While the plastic was still soft I stuck a pin in the end and left it in place until the plastic hardened and then pulled the pin out. I attached the rigid tubing to my co2 line and stuck it in an uplift tube with a power head on top. I got what appeared to be a fine mist and so far the co2 levels seem to be holding up.
This is a 20 gallon tank with diy co2. I had tried limewood air diffusors, but the low pressure was a problem.
I wanted to try something that did not require modifying impellers etc. I would be interested if some of you who have used other methods such as a needle wheel impeller tried this and could compare the two.
