Default Wich Co2-reactor will work better

I have finally bought a pressurized Co2-system, a whole set. Im familiar with DIY-Co2 and right now Im having a reactor with a waterpump. Reactor is DIY but its working absolutely fine though its not the most beautiful in the world.... With the set will come "ceramic diffuser", thats all I know about it. Am I right supposing that it will be better to keep the reactor with the pump instead of ceramic diffuser? I used to have a ceramic airstone wich I didnt like that much because of tiny bubbles all over aquarium.

I have run 450-l aquarium with two 1,5-litre yeastbottles but, yes, its been quite hard. Results are pretty ok, plants are bubbling at nights but every few weeks the system have to be retighten or it will blow the gas to room air. I got tired of it.

It really depends on you. If you're achieving the desired CO2 levels, and you're happy with what you've got and don't like the tiny bubbles throughout the tank, then you have your answer.

Thanks, Bert H, for your reply. Yes, of course, I feel like a bit stupid. I know the version with pump is effective, but IF I found little bubbles attractive, it also should be ok with the pressurized system? I guess so, Im just a bit confused what is ok and whats not since DIY-yeast solution has learned me to allways try to find most effective ways to run with it. I have done lot of work to make it work with DIY with such a big tank and I think I succeed, but, oh man, Im allready happy for the pressurized and not to think the yeast ("oh, is it really AGAIN time to change the bottle?!) all the time!
