Oxygenated Water....

Lesson 12: Oxygen Check this out guys. this site has graphs, charts, & even cool little analogys so ever one can understand. i know its only one site, but it seems right enough to trust.
It does seem that the colder the water the more oxygen it can hold. although that is not the only thing that affects the oxygen level in the water. large amounts of surface area also effect the DO (dissolved oxygen) in water. if im not mistaken bubblers do increase the surface area. the best thing would be to get a DO meter & figure out how to get the most oxygen in the water.

Of course is does, Each bubble has a surface area, Its round and completely surrouned by water, the whole inside of the bubble acts as the surface area

Oh, also wanted to add this bit too i found from a website. ( Dissolved Oxygen )

Almost all of the oxygen dissolved into the water from an air bubble occurs when the bubble is being formed. Only a negligible amount occurs during the bubbles transit to the surface of the water. This is why an aeration process that makes many small bubbles is better than one that makes fewer larger ones. The breaking up of larger bubbles into smaller ones also repeats this formation and transfer process.

Air stones or similar bubble forming devices driven by an air pump can also be used to provide supplemental air. A single air stone can supply sufficient air for up to a 1000 gallon pond although pond water circulation problems may still exist. It is recommended that a backup air pump with tubing and air stones (size and quantity depending on pond size) be kept on hand in case of main water pump malfunctions. This could also be used to supply air to an isolation tank if needed. In an emergency, just splashing the water by hand or with a bucket can probably add enough oxygen to sustain the fish until the problem is corrected.

i went under the ice one winter,trying to pull my partner who was setting snares over otter holes and fell through,now otters poke holes in thin ice so they can come up for air while hunting fish, naturally it is risky,any way i went under trying to save him,the water was freeeezing and i had no oxygen under there.sorry bad attemt at humour,but the story is eal.

The surface area that is being talked about is the surface of the body of water, the part that is touching the atmosphere. That is where the air is mixed with the water, not when a bubble is formed. The bubbles don't mix with water, they roil the surface and that is where the air is mixed.

For instance, I don't use bubbles to aerate. I use a submersible water pump that is pointed at the surface and there are no bubbles, just moving water. I run organic nutes, and the organisms thrive.

How can you sit there and say thats wrong, when science just said it was right?

read again:

Think about it.. an air pump, uses air from the ATMOSPHERE and bubbles it up from the bottom of the water. The oxygen gets dissolved in the water from any and all air that touches it (unless the water is saturated, think of it as a sponge)

if you have plenty of money then u could just buy the machines that make that oxywater and make it yourself. get a DO meter and find how what method of enriching water with oxygen works best. then there will be undienable evidence.
