I make 40-50 gal batches for the nursery where I work and we use this pump for aeration. Poly tubing from the pump into a section of black soaker hose bent to a figure 8 shape with the cap on the end of the hose. Pushes out a great column of bubbles when weighted down (I use a 2 ft. piece of rebar tied to the soaker hose) to the bottom of the barrel.

My recipe for 40 gallons:

  • 2 cups liquid kelp extract

  • 8 cups alfalfa pellets

  • 8 cups of finished, screened compost

  • 1/2 cup unsulphured black molasses

    All the solids go in a mesh bag intended for grains in a homebrewer's setup. Alfalfa expands/floats, so put some rocks in there. We also have a smaller pump with an airstone inside the bag to force microbes out into the solution. 48 hrs. or so of bubbling/foaming. I run it through a Dos-a-tron at the highest setting it will allow, 2% solution. I wish I could get up to about 15% tea in that solution for out potted plants and maybe even 50% on our propagation beds. I've just poured full strength tea on our beds from a watering can before. I alternate with a fish emulsion fertilizer, so it's hard to say exactly what effects are attributable to either fertilizer regimen, so hope this helps.

Optimally you would want to get an air pump where you can draw air in from the outside. I'll explain why.

Typically the CO2 levels in your house are anywhere from 500 - 800 PPM (sometimes even 1000 PPM) higher than the constant 400 PPM outdoors.

One nasty side effect from pumping CO2 rich O2 into your nutrient solutions is it will start to lower your PH. By running an air line outside for fresher air- you can avoid this. This also sets you up for running CO2 in the future if you want.

This pump will allow you to attach a hose to pull air in from the outside.

Right now it's venting outside but I'm looking into at least some filtration to not upset the neighbors.
