Aquario Neo Air Diffuser - Special Type Curved - Medium
(for Oxygen)
The Neo diffuser for air produces incredibly small bubbles compared to traditional air stones. Unlike other air stones, these microbubbles operate quietly and do not create splashes. The diffuser's large surface area enhances the oxygen levels dissolved in your aquarium. Made from transparent acrylic, the Neo diffuser is more durable than glass diffusers, making it easier to handle during cleaning and when detaching it from the aquarium. Its simple design complements both large aquariums and smaller setups.
Benefits of Oxygen in an Aquarium
In planted aquariums, plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis when provided with sufficient lighting, but during the nighttime phase, plants take up oxygen and release CO2.
In non-planted tanks, the oxygen provided by the air stone makes up for the lack of oxygen produced the plants.
Maintaining adequate oxygen levels in an aquarium overnight can be extremely beneficial for the health of marine life, including fish, plants, and beneficial bacteria. Fish depend on dissolved oxygen for respiration, and sufficient levels help prevent stress and improve overall vitality. Low oxygen levels can lead to lethargy and even death in fish.
Additionally, aerobic bacteria, which are crucial for breaking down waste products like ammonia and nitrites, thrive in well-oxygenated environments, enhancing biological filtration. While plants primarily produce oxygen during the day through photosynthesis, they also consume it at night, making stable oxygen levels beneficial for their health and the overall ecosystem.
Furthermore, sufficient oxygen helps reduce the buildup of toxic gases, improves water quality through efficient aerobic decomposition, and encourages fish to exhibit natural behaviours by increasing their activity levels.
