ADA - CO2 New Pollen Glass Diffuser

The ADA New Pollen Glass for all small aquariums and nano aquariums up to 60 cm edge length is a revised and improved version of the classic Pollen Glass from Aqua Design Amano, a diffuser for CO2. The New Pollen Glass has a slanted opening and thus distributes the CO2 over a slightly larger area in the aquarium than the ADA Pollen Glass.

The ADA New Pollen Glass atomizes the carbon dioxide from the pressurized gas system as a carbon source for the aquatic plants particularly finely and effectively and appears very unobtrusive, noble and simple in the aquascape. The New Pollen Glass from Aqua Design Amano can also be operated with Bio-CO2 systems with a pressure of at least 1 bar.

The ADA New Pollen Glass comes with a J-shaped glass piece that can be used to hang the New Pollen Glass above the edge of the aquarium. This Joint Glass is suitable for aquarium panes of 5-10 mm thickness. The New Pollen Glass is connected to the Joint Glass with a piece of transparent silicone tubing. By guiding the glass across the aquarium pane, CO2 loss is minimized and there is no risk of the tubing kinking at the aquarium edge. Please do not connect with rigid CO2 hose, as there is a risk of glass breakage!

The connection nozzle of the ADA New Pollen Glass is slightly larger than the hose diameter, so that the silicone hose is really tight and secure. For mounting on the Joint Glass and the New Pollen Glass, the end of the transparent silicone tube is briefly dipped in hot water. The heat makes the material more pliable and flexible. A rinse-water mixture on the connectors of the glass parts makes it even easier to slide on.

In addition, the set also includes a transparent suction cup with which the ADA New Pollen Glass CO2 diffuser is attached to the aquarium pane. Important when pulling off: Always pull on the suction cup, not on the glass.

The ADA New Pollen Glass is handmade from high quality Japanese crystal glass. The ultra-fine membrane for CO2 distribution is white and inconspicuous. It consists of a highly porous special material, the so-called"Powder Glass", which divides the CO2 beads particularly finely. Thus, the carbon dioxide dissolves particularly well in the aquarium water and is thus directly available to the aquarium plants as a valuable nutrient.

The ADA New Pollen Glass is operated together with a bubble counter (the ADA CO2 Bubble Counter or the ADA CO2 Beetle Counter) at the aquarium, so that the number of CO2 bubbles can be precisely controlled and adjusted. For starters, one bubble of CO2 per secondis recommended for a 60 liter planted aquarium.
