Thanks for patiently answering my questions. :thumbsup:
Hi, what I meant was you should have an air pump/stone AND a light proof reservior. The air pump will prevent the build up of unwanted bacteria (stagnation of the water), and light proofing prevents algae. You need both an air pump and light proof res to keep the nutrient solution in good condition. :thumbsup:
