Default Adding air pump to ebb/flow systems...
permalink
I was considering adding airstones to all the reservoirs of my ebb/flow systems. Is this a good idea or is the ebb/flow sufficient enough to get oxygen to the roots?

didnt really want to set up the pump if there wasn't any noticeable difference .

I had airstones in my reservoir, it is a good ideá to keep the water "fresh" and well air-rated. This will keep the roots from rotting.
Besides an airpump is cheap and uses little electricity.
