Need a little advice here.

I have a heavily planted 10g right now. I am using the Hagen/NutraFin DIY Co2 System with that ugly ladder type diffuser. I don't like the diffuser. It's too big, ugly, and I don't think it does a very good job at diffusing the bubbles.

Anyone got any ideas for a diffuser that is smaller and does a better job?
Remember, this is NOT a pressurized system, it is a DIY.

I use an e-bay ceramic nano diffuser for my 10 gallon DIY CO2. It was cheap, about $5 and works well. I know others have commented about 2L bottles not having enough pressure, but I have not found that to be the case. I have 2 bottle running simultaneously. I used to use a Duetto 50 internal filter as a CO2 reactor, but it took up too much space. Hope this helps.

What's it called?

Ceramic Nano diffuser? Is that the actual name? About how big is it? Can you hide it well?

Do a search for CO2 diffuser and nano in ebay. I hide it behind a piece of driftwood / java fern.

Thanks. I'll see what I can find.

I have one for my 6g edge using the Jello co2 method: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/diy/9916-jello-co2-thread.html It works great!
