Some of the bubbles are not what I'd call fine as well and I've heard that one working properly should be giving off many fine bubbles. I'm not sure if there is a difference or if my idea of "fine bubble size" is different than other's definition of fine...

I'll try to take a pic of the diffuser in action tonight.

Thanks!


Bear in mind that any O2 in the system will not exit the disk as fine as CO2 will do, it takes mine ages to get rid of all the O2. Im about to receive the same diffuser as you so itll be interesting to compare.

I also found soaking new ones in 50:50 bleech/water solution for a few hours seems to sort out big bubbles quite a bit. Dunno why it would do, maybe the disks get a bit clogged with dust when theyre cut or something.
