Hi
It depends what aerated bottom drain you have as they differ to the amount of air they are able to take. I think Richdon have the one with the highest input/output.

Richard,
Got a Richdon drain on the pond. Just added a second airtech 80 to the pond for the summer to see if it makes a difference to the fish. Believe the membrane will take 400 ltrs but can't imagine why anyone would put that much air through it!!!
Like having a jacuzzi in the garden though

Hi Guys,
I have 4500 gallons.
1 x Aerated BD with 70l air,
1 x RK Aquafuser plus Ceramic Air stone with another 70l air,
plus another 70l air into my K1 chamber in Filter. Pond also has trickle tower, venturi and 3 stage waterfall.
Basically, the only way to get more air into the pond would be to pipe pure O2 direct from the BOC factory. Lol
