Aquaclear 201 Powerhead for DIY CO2 diffusion
One other thing I noticed. When I had media in the tube with the 301, many
air bubbles formed around/in/on the media and never dissolved. I tried
rock, ceramic tubes, and plastic balls...same on all of them. Maybe you
will have better luck.

That's just my point, the 301 didn't provide enough turbulence. I have
an
empty gravel vac, suction cup holding the hose in teh middle of the vac
tube, a 2" sponge piece in the bottom and the Magnum providing water
flow.
The turbulence is so good I don't need anything in the tube to create
more.
Since I'm getting ALMOST enough CO2 diffused with just the cup method, I'm
hoping I can get by with the 201. I got it cheap because the package was
opened, and it came with 301 instructions. I will give it a try. I'm
going
to try using biomax rings in a tube. Might as well get some filtering
action
while we're at it right? It would be good to have a backup should my
whisper
power filter fail. Sometimes I'm not home for a weekend or something.
