So last week I accidentally knocked over my 1 leader CO2 bottle going into my 5 gal nano, it started to fizz like crazy and pushed through the tube and filled the diffuser with a milky yeast, sugar water solution, the pressure made the bubbles go like crazy and then stop all together. I took the diffuser out and put it on the heater in my room, allowing all the liquid to evaporate out. But after a few days there is still no CO2 coming out, and because of this I’ve got one hell of an angle bloom, the inside of the diffuser looks like it has dried up yeast water solution on its sides, could this also be blocking the pours in the ceramic and how can I clean it out? Or is it something else?
Thanks a lot, -Colin

I've heard bleach is one of the best ways to clean diffusors, sounds like this one needs a good cleaning inside and out. Soak it for while then give it a good rinse and it should ready to go. This is what i've heard though I haven't had to try it yet. good luck

Bleach solution or hydrogen peroxide works but you will have to let it soak so that it gets inside and then soak it in some de-chlor.
