Lets see: A hobby grade 9150 cubic inches per minute air pump. That means [9150/(12*12*12)= 5.3 cubic feet per minute.
Or their is the industrrial gradeblower for $150 that produces 27 cubic feet per minute.
Sounnds like a real rough choice. A hobby grade pump or a quality industrial blower.
HOLY CONCRETE papa!!
Damn Papa... Someone wants to keep things aerated!!!!
can you imagine the scale of system a reservoir like that could serve? [wink, wink]
it might even be bigger than jack's :)

I think I get it, so like I said, air bubbles do provide DO to the roots, and of course the smaller the better that is why airstones exsist. the turbulance from some of those bubbles also creates DO. and the 30ft that my water travels in 4in pvc after it overflows from my tubs, right before it waterfalls in to my res only to be pumped at 1800gph into my tubs at a rate of 18time per hour should give me the 2ppm needed to grow decent herb

fatman;372837. If you can find a chart showing 20 ppm of DO in water reservoirs etc said:Where are your charts and links fatman showing your opions/facts?
Why does my fish tank have a simple air stone to help provide oxygen if its useless to the fish? The oxygen must get into the water somehow right?
I, like Lost, am a bud farmer and dont give a shit about science crap. I'm not book educated cause i realized they only generally teach you in a perfect world type of shit. Growing weed is never in a vacum or perfectly pressurized so why go into all the bs. We like to just Keep It Simple Stupid.
ya think.....can I be your danielson? I got da moves
What i understood is, that in RDWC the most important aspect is the turbulence created by the larger bubbles so more DO reaches the roots. Also that the water be constantly recirculating at the proper rate so the nutrient solution is constant throughout the system. So correct me if i'm wrong, the most effective way of improving the Undercurrent is by changing the air pump and stones so we can create more turbulence in the buckets? And if so, what combination of air pump and stones would you recommend? Thanx for the info. -Keepz
