    Your favorite airpump and airstones? and why?

    Bravo, You are absolutely right on the money again, you got it. The difference between air and O2 is 20% O2 and 100% O2 respectively. At sea level the gas tension of 20% O2 in air is 152 mm/hg and the gas tension of 100% oxygen is 760 mm/hg. Now it should be easy to understand how 80% water can...

    Yep, you are absolutely right when the limiting factor is air - air is the problem that limits oxygenation when you need more O2 or DO in the water.

    Your favorite airpump and airstones? and why?

    But how in the world can you increase the Dissolved Oxygen without increasing the fractional concentration of O2? Without increasing the fractional concentration of O2, ambient air with any and all combination of air pumps, waterfalls and aquarium chillers is a costly meaningless exercise if a...

    Your favorite airpump and airstones? and why?

    Here's a real sad but real true deal. Mother Nature has got you on the air deal, salesmen know this and have their little hands in your pocket preaching their myth… buy “hope,” it’s only money. My 8th grade General Science teacher taught me the difference between air, nitrogen, argon and oxygen...

    Cool air and warm water – higher metabolism, faster growth and production combo

    Here you go krypto - If you never have low O2 problems, don't waste a second of your time even reading this. Warn the water with something like this - Submersible Aquarium Heater, Glass 300-Watt, for Freshwater Aquarium and Saltwater Aquarium, Jetsu's New Range of Aquarium Supplies...

    Cool air and warm water – higher metabolism, faster growth and production combo

    OK Krypto - just for you I'll "lay it out" 1 more time.. you must really make an effort this time, try to stay focused and pay attention. Do you think the plants may be healthier, grow faster and be more productive if the grower could maintain his nutrient solution and root zone temperature at...

    Cool air and warm water – higher metabolism, faster growth and production combo

    Krypto – I would turn down my A/C thermostat if the air temp was uncomfortable, to high, but that will definitely increase your electric bill (your cost of operation). Great calculations with the DO chart, different temps, etc., but you are omitting a real important parameter that hydroponics...

    Cool air and warm water – higher metabolism, faster growth and production combo

    Krypto - Is that the only 2 reasons for not using warmer nutrient water that you know of... lower dissolve oxygen saturation in warmer water, warmer water guarantees low dissolved oxygen saturation and low oxygen saturation increase probability and chances of root rot fungal infestation? I...

    Cool air and warm water – higher metabolism, faster growth and production combo

    Everyone I've talked with all say the nutrient temp must be kept between 65-69 F, but when I ask that simple question - Why and show me any research that tells me why... I hear "look at our chiller advertisement," "chilled water is great for your plants, your plants need and will love chilled...
