Best for
Pressurised CO2 tanks where you want a neat, nearly invisible diffuser and are happy to clean glass now and then.
Worth knowing
Glass is fragile, and the disc clogs over time, so expect occasional soaking in diluted bleach.

- Clear glass body that disappears against the back glass
- Low-profile shape sits flat on the glass
- ADA pairs the 40 mm version with 90 cm Cube Gardens
