See my post above, I use a koralia powerhead (open propeller) over my glass diffuser. Micro bubbles everywhere. It is on the back wall and aimed to the front of the tank and slightly down. So bubble hit the front and go both directions.

To clean the glass diffuser I suggest watered down bleach over peroxide. It will get rid of stubborn build up in seconds...depends on how often you clean it?
