Hello everyone , i am now currently doing a 2x2 grow , in a 32L (8.4 gal) DIY DWC Bucket.
My question is, what would be a good air pump/air stone combination for the 32L (8.4 gal) DWC bucket, taking into consideration that there will be less water than the total capacity, i would say around 27-28L (7-7.4gal) ?
Now the pump i have ordered is rated at a capacity of 2x4L per minute, which is 8L/min in total or 480L/hour (126GPH).
The air stone i have ordered is a 4inch good quality circular air stone that has 3 suction cups to keep it at the bottom.
My question is : is that setup going to be ideal and i would say sufficient for the type of bucket im going to be using ?
Or should i be getting something stronger ?
What ive seen and been thinking about lately is a 30L/min or 1800L/hour (475GPH) air pump monster with a speed regulator combined with an 8inch circular air stone with 3 suction cups. The 8inch air stone would cover a bigger area in the bottom of the bucket.
Is my first setup going to be enough ? if not , will the 2nd option be good or too strong and cause too much turbulence in my 7-8gal bucket ?
