ADA are much better and finer bother in performance and quality. But if you are talking about the do!aqua music notes diffuser, they are the worse I had ever used even though they are very cheap. I do highly recommand the do!aqua CO2 diffuser parts number 140-101, this is a bubble counter and diffuser all in one yet the performance + pricing are not so bad.

Agree with the above on the do! aqua music glass diffuser. I have both the ADA and do!aqua diffuser. The latter is gathering dust in my garage. You are really much better off with the ADA diffuser. For small tanks, this one is my favorite http://www.adgshop.com/Pollen_Glass_p/102-101.htm

You can pick up at ADG, however their store has moved from the old location to 288 South and Sam Houston Pkwy - I think. You can email Jeff for directions.

I recommend silicone tubing as its very hard to make standard CO2 tubing fit the diffuser. You can get the clear or white silicone tubing from the scientific supply places like here http://vwrlabshop.com/vwr-silicone-tubing/p/0013702/ . The grey tubing just looks to ugly to my eyes.

I do not want to say it like this because I am selling ADA products too in Seattle area... but yes you better get that as I use to work in the lab and I know that all the higher quality silicon tubes are in grey color just like the ADA kind. They do not change shape like the silicon tube you get from the fish store. Best part is they fit better. Do not use none silicon based tubes... really easy to break the glass when you trying to unplug it after a while.
