I have never seen this done but it is a GREAT idea! I like it a lot. How much additional benefit it would have is a big question but you would be then running a hybrid DWC/ebb n flow system- And that is super neat. Extra O2 delivery to the roots is always a good thing!

Edit, turn on your rep, smartypants!
