Fluval Bio-CO2 Diffuser disperses CO2 into your planted aquarium as an ultra-fine mist for maximum uptake by your plants. A high-quality ceramic disc breaks the gas into tiny bubbles that dissolve quickly, while the clear acrylic body stays discreet in the tank. It pairs with the low-pressure Fluval Bio-CO2 system (or a compatible low-pressure CO2 source) to give your plants the carbon they need for lush, healthy growth. German engineered, with two suction cups included. Choose the 125 for aquariums up to 125 L (33 US gal) or the 250 for aquariums up to 250 L (66 US gal).
