The Dymax Glass Atomizer GA106 is a high-performance CO2 diffuser designed for planted aquariums and aquascaping systems, delivering ultra-fine micro bubbles for efficient CO2 dissolution and improved aquatic plant growth. Crafted from high-quality crystal-clear glass and fitted with a precision ceramic membrane (approx. 15–16 mm disc depending on batch), it ensures consistent atomisation and effective CO2 distribution throughout the aquarium.
Ideal for nano to medium-sized aquariums, the GA106 is compatible with standard 4/6mm CO2 tubing and operates best at a working pressure of approximately 2–3 bar (30–45 psi). This pressure range allows the atomizer to produce a fine mist that maximises CO2 absorption while reducing waste and supporting strong, healthy plant development.
For optimal performance, install the atomizer near the bottom of the aquarium so bubbles travel upward through the water column, improving diffusion time and ensuring even CO2 distribution across planted areas. Proper placement also helps reduce surface loss and improves overall efficiency.
Maintenance is simple and important for long-term reliability. If the ceramic disc becomes clogged, soak it in a mild bleach solution for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water before reuse.
Recommended CO2 injection rates generally range from 1–3 bubbles per second for small to medium planted tanks, with adjustments based on lighting, plant density, and livestock sensitivity to maintain stable CO2 levels and avoid fluctuations.
