What is the air stone for?That’s with air stone and a mixer in the rez.
Keeps everything mixed and aerated. So it dosnt go stale.What is the air stone for?
You still get it with a pump. It’s the residue on the sides you get from the level going down.Ive used just an air stone in 10 gallons with chem nutes,I got salt build up on the edges of the container.
I assume a rec pump doesnt do this?
Mixing I do understand, but why the aerating?Keeps everything mixed and aerated. So it dosnt go stale.
I don’t have ph fluctuation issues and I also don’t have aquariums.Mixing I do understand, but why the aerating?
There is no need to areate. Your roots get plenty of O2 anyway.
That tiny, tiny bit extra in your feeding water is useless.
My advice would be to not areate the water.
As you can read on forums about aquariums you can see that areating not only brings more O2 in your water, but it can also be one of the reasons your pH can rise.
I thought you also had a mixer in your res?Not useless as it mixes the rez.

Most of the "bad bacteria" that infects hydro systems is what's called anaerobic bacteria. Oxygen kills anaerobic bacteria...so res aeration helps to minimize root rot through that process.What is the air stone for?
you are assuming things to create a opportunity to flap your gums. I merely stated what I do in MY rez and how long it last.Perhaps in your case it is not negative, and if you think it works, it works.
Justed wanted to point out that for O2 it is useless, and for mixing you already have the mixer, so I did not understand your reasons.
But as I understand now, there is no reason
Not everything in life has to have a reason.

Some systems are more prone to infection. I would never run DWC without airstones or some other aeration method such as a waterfall thing.
Whereas Ebb and Flow which naturally aerates nutes, needs minimal additional aeration.

Have a good day bud.Didn't know you get so upset that easy.
Apologies.
I was in the understanding that at a forum people could react to each others posts.
Apparently I was wrong.
Sorry 'bout that.
wrong and wrong.We are in the Drain-to-Waste section.
Then aereation is totally useless and could even raise your pH if you would do it all the time.
