How much air

Post by ian m »

As some know I'm just adding some more air to my pond. Its approx 4000 glns, how much air would you have on an airated bottom drain?

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 :lol: :lol:
