Hey, thanks for reading this!!

I've used drip sytem, aerogarden, bubbleponic systems b4 and the simpler idea just came up to me sort of like what u do with a salt water fish tank!!

Say if use a rectangular container with a lid on it and you use a submersible water pump to constanly make nutes in the resvoir circule around, should it provide enough oxigen? I know with a non-salt water fish tank, you need to use water

stones to make lots of bubbles to provide lots of O2, but salt-water fish you don't need water stones at all -- all you need is "water flow " or "water circulation" to

prevent the water in the fish tank become stagnant( stagnant or dead water can't provide oxidgent).

I've thinking about this method because water stones makes so much bubbles and the ph flutuates up and down quickly, and aerogarden (sort of like a drip system, though not making any bubbles at all but very small in sizse) does not

fluctuates as much!!

If I was to use "water circulation" method, I tend to use a retangular shaped container sort of like an average sized bubbleoinc system but without the water stones to make bubbles, just using the water pump! And the pump would

submerged in the bottom of the containger attached to one side. The pump must be wrapped with a small landuary bag to prevent roots from sucking in the pump!! And the pump has to operate 24/7 !!


Any anyone ever tried it before?

Any advize is appricated!! Thanks a lot !!

i think it would work if you pumped the water up and out of the rez and let it fall a few inches before it hits the rez water, kinda waterfall effect to add more o2..try it ...
