No i do agree with you zandor i said or maybe it wasnt clear, that, it wouldnt put as much O in the water as a airpump. Also a good idea for mixing nutes, some fo the high power 300+gph pumps have at the nossle where the tubeing connects, some come with a piece that actually has a small hole and it jets water out aswell throught the tube so it mixes and pumps at the same time. i have one but its too big for my veggies right now when they flower it will be used.
JackdaWack Reviewed by JackdaWack on . Air Pump vs Water Pump I believe that using diaphram air pumps to oxygenate res water may not be the best way to go. This opinion is based on many years of experience in setting up and maintaining reef aquariums and researching techical information relative to the health of delicate corals. As I understand the air/water exchange principles, the actual gas exchange takes place at the surface where the air and water come in contact. The agitation of the water causes an incease in the volume of oxygen in the water. Rating: 5
