On one of the forums a poster was promoting the idea of using short pieces of chop sticks - bamboo, I assume. That might work well too. The goal should be, in my opinion, to have multiple microscopic orifices, so until the last one plugs up you still have CO2 mist being generated. I can't see myself doing this experimenting, but I hope someone does.

And, it won't be at 10 bubbles per second, with such small bubbles, but more like 100 per second. That suggests that it would take multiple parallel orifices to allow that much flow.

For the sake of discovery I'll cut some limewood stones with a 3/8" plug cutter. Bore and install an air tube, and insinuate them inline and see what shakes loose ? Such an airstone would be use specific and require exotic (unconventional) process though. They could be placed in a simple union though, and replaced pretty quickly at will. WTH why not ? Prof M
