In my aero unit i left the pump on 24/7.

Some people keep them on for a few minutes and off for a few. I personally have always had better luck with 24/0 on my pump in aero.

Earl is also a aero master..

Pump size depends on the size of your unit. i usually use 300-400gph capable pumps

I linked epix thread because as you read on past the actual building he explains in detail how to use it. I found it very interesting.

Any aero system PPM is very crucial. Ph and PPM are more important in aero than in almost any other form of growing..
