Zandor....What about beneficial bacteria and airstones?
How about this question fellas.........
We all know the benefits of beneficial bacteria additives and supplements and what it does for reservoirs and root systems. We know that airstones and aeration in your reservoir keeps things fresh like an aquarium. But how about the two together????
Can well aerated reservoirs prohibit (act negatively towards) the life of beneficial bacteria? Does beneficial bacteria suffer from elevated amounts of oxygen from bubblers and airstones? THey say that the airstones prohibit algae, fungus, bad bacteria, and all that yucky stuff. It seems to me that the good bacteria may struggle to stay alive too with all that active air bubble circulation.
I would think that a bubbler system with constant air bubble action in the reservoir, or an aeroponic system would negatively effect a beneficial bacteria supplement if they are in fact sensitive to oxygen content. Maybe in an Ebb n' Flow there would be a better chance for the bacteria to establish itself in the root system in between floods.
Does anyone know if good bacteria thrives or suffers in highly aerated reservoirs?Stormcooker Reviewed by Stormcooker on . Zandor....What about beneficial bacteria and airstones?
