Air stone?

[Adey1980]

Hi all
I got a wilma 4 pot with coco and I'm about 8 weeks into my veg, everything is going good now so I was thinking would it be best to add an air stone in the reservoir? What type and size/make would you guys recomend, and does it help the plants take more nutes?

I defiantly would mate help keeps the res oxygenated

ias stated it wouldn't do any harm to keep the nutes/water aerated anyway , it may well cause the pH to drop though so keep and eye on it.

yeah as grandad says airstones can mess with your ph... i like the long cylinder types with the square ends so none of the stone is touching the bottom... get silent pump as well, i got a hailea super silent one for my DWC buckets and it is nice and quite and has more than enough power..
