CO2 Diffusers which one is the best- Twinstar vs Dennerle - For better aquarium plants

Carbon dioxide (CO²) is one of the most important nutrients plants need in order to grow. Carbon is the one fundamental element that stands at the base of all life on Earth, underwater world included.

In nature, the level of CO² typically builds up throughout the night and is quickly utilized by aquatic plants once there is sunshine. In tiny ponds, CO² levels and pH fluctuate a huge amount as the sun rises and photosynthesis starts.

Many aquatic plants also grow in fast flowing streams and shallow water where the surface areas are massive relative to the depth and volume of the water and plants can grab CO² from water that is constantly streaming past.

There are also species of plants from regions where there is less dissolved CO² in the water. These species will grow well even without injected CO².

CO² injection boost growth rates 5-10X times compared to growth in low tech aquariums and helps tremendously in growing carpets & colored plants. Plants have better form, color and health when grown in an environment where CO² is optimally provided. Thin stems, stunted leaves, poor coloration, algae on plants are all common signs that CO² levels are inadequate for optimal plant growth. Growth speed is not the only benefit that CO² enrichment provides.
