    Get rid of your air pump and make a waterfall with existing waterpump (6 site bucket)

    Cheap is relative, If a little bubbles aquarium air pump works great for you and does the job you want done, stay with them. I like the Thomas WOB-L® piston pump – high performance and durability. WOB-L piston pumps work to reduce a volume by a fixed crank-driven piston within a cylinder...

    Get rid of your air pump and make a waterfall with existing waterpump (6 site bucket)

    You’re right, those air stones you posted are seriously limited, have many problems, but they are disposable and they are very cheap throw-a-ways every time they fail which is usually predictable. Your web site reference says - *Aeration will increase or raise the pH of the water slightly due...

    Get rid of your air pump and make a waterfall with existing waterpump (6 site bucket)

    Air is a mixture of gases containing only 21% O2, that’s all there is and that O2 concentration is the limiting factor for oxygenation. Doesn’t matter if air is bubbled through air stones, sprayed, dripped, mechanical agitators, waterfalls, etc. The volume of air pumped through any air pump does...

    DWC res water to hot

    Hey there Rez, Good points. Have your ever actually tested your DO just so you really ‘Know” your O2 situation?... if your winning or losing in the oxygenation game challenge? I like warmer water > 75F because that increases plant and benny metabolism (faster growth), but the biological oxygen...

    DWC res water to hot

    That looks like Betty Ann's bush, she's a blond too, I wouldn't change anything, just keep the N2O2 away and keep the microbes healthy.

    DWC res water to hot

    Yes, I understand the relationship between water temp, salinity, barometric pressure, gas saturation and gas concentration. All SCUBA divers have a functional working understanding of this concept, this understanding is absolutely vital to all divers. Now think scientifically applying Henry’s...

    DWC res water to hot

    Never had a low-O2 problem, but I did experiment with an oxygenator a few years back. They are stealthy, makes no noise, produces oxygen and make very tiny oxygen and hydrogen bubbles. Their literature is impressive, their salesmen are more impressive. You really need a DO meter or some way to...

    DWC res water to hot

    Hey Smokey, clearly you got problems and you got options too. Before you go and waste a lot of money Do you really know if you are having a water temperature problem or are you having a Lo-O2 problem? That’s 2 different problems treated in 2 different ways. If you have a hot water problem, buy...

    Air pump to res size ratio?

    Hey Butt, Some growers and experts say that high oxygenation is great and low oxygenation can cause serious problems in DWC. Others say low oxygen is not a problem, many have no idea and no opinions. With the air pump and bubble stone rig you are currently using, you are pumping about 38.5 cu...
