Here's the post where another member raised some points: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/equipment/123561-green-leaf-aquariums-new-co2-diffuser-4.html#post1239003

Oh I don't question that the new diffusers are more efficient. Smaller bubbles leads to greater surface area and subsequent better absorption. The problem is the company has measured CO2 consumption strictly using BPS, which is a volumetric measurement and does not take into account line...

i'm mostly interested in whether a bubble counter, which is very simplistic volumetric flow meter, is affected by line pressure. my thinking, based on natural gas delivery and metering systems, is that line pressure needs to be accounted for when measuring gas consumption. the company states...

In the planted aquarium hobby, CO2 is often infused into the aquarium water using a compressed cylinder of CO2 which runs through a regulator, a needle valve, a bubble counter, and then into the tank. At the end of the gas line, a diffuser is used. The diffuser is porous ceramic material which...
