Good point Leagallyflying. While while bubbler methods appears to me to easily cap out the max DO of the water. The bubbles themselves actually interface with the roots. So that has to be taken into account. I'm now here near an expert.I'm just looking at what I can grasp

Red sea and salifert make DO liquid test kits I knowy

Can you tell me your dissolved oxygen level in you water?

It kind of looks like no matter what stone you use. Give the margin of error. They are pretty close to the same. Probably because we are bumping up against the "maximum dissolved oxygen concentration" limit I'm assuming? http://www.dnr.mo.gov/env/esp/wqm/DOSaturationTable.htm You can...

I think I understand what kevinanderson is saying. Even if English is not his first language and it was long. He is talking about getting more for your money by doing it yourself. Learning about it by doing and building systems yourself thus getting understand what your working with and on a...

I saw a few successful builds similar to what I have planned. They usually use larger totes and thus have more height for clearance. I did take extra measures when plumbing things to keep what distance I could VS what others have. I just dont know if its enough. Interesting ideas you put out...

I'm not sure if you are or not. Don't quote me for sure. But i **thought** at least as it pertains to regular aquarium pumps. That head pressure, as long as it does not stop the flow of water completely is not an issue for the pump. There are several different pump styles so I'm not sure if that...

I've been Slowly planning and constructing an aero system using ez clone sprayers. Its a very small one out of standard 18g totes. I have about 12" from the bottom of my net pots to the top of the sprayers. Is this an acceptable distance? If it just wont work I can probably just shift gears and...

What ever your lighting plans are. Get some reflectors. Even if its just a pop can cut in half. It makes a huge difference.

I have about 12 inches from the lid to the sprayers. I have a 600GPH pump with 10 ez-clone sprayers. Here are a couple pics of things not yet finished/finalized. I changed my mind after I took the pic with the CFLs on the lid. I re-layed them out to fit 12 bulbs instead of the 8 you see. The...

Background:As I'm designing my stealth Rubbermaid tote aeroponics system(2-3 totes stacked on top of each other).Stacked on top of each other. Bottom tote is the Reservoir/aeroponics spray area. Second tote is the first grow area, with the scrog screen and lights on the lid.Then when the plants...

I assume your talking about Large AC fans VS small 80mm 12vdc fans?

its a plant. there are technicalities to be observed for best output. as with most speciality forums..they get really down in to the inner mechanics of the process. they are not always required to just make it happen. however i'm a newbie too but from what I gather you got most of the important...

Thanks for that diagnostic pic ocalli.That may be usefull to me. I do find it interesting. I was growing algae for an aquarium filtration project. The algae shows similar pigmentation changes when there is N deficiency and overabundance conditions.
