    And Good Morning to you today... It's another fine Saturday morning.

    A quick answer to your great question. Actually 10 liters or 50 gallons water will saturate with dissolved oxygen at most any temperature F or C degrees and if you want that same water supersaturated to 110% with dissolved oxygen, ain't nothing to that because anyone can accomplish this with ease too. There's nothing to it man, just bone up on Henry's Law and apply gas law. Here's the Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry's_law

    Try not to fixate on the (air) DO Charts and the limitations they prescribe - water temperature to DO. When you understand Henry's Law, then you can thing beyond the limitations of the box (the box that limits your oxygenating capability is that little DO Chart). Try thinking like the people that bottle Dr. Pepper, Sprite, 7-UP and Champaign. Apply A chemistry gas law like the bottlers do and expand your dissolved oxygenating capabilities dramatically. Playing with science and manipulating dissolved oxygen in DWC water can yield real dramatic results in the crop and the microbial colonies in the soup.
    later...

    Flumeing the water is great for dissolved oxygen so say you had a ball cock inur res and it didn't really go down by a lot u can buy these filter pump the stick inside the res and water goes in bottom and comes out at a 90degree bend,it breaks surface tension and creates loads of dissolved oxygen provided the temps are within range

    Back in the day I used to use an aquarium "Powerhead" in my (admittedly small) 4-plant bubbler. The only issue with it was when the water level dropped very low the Powerhead could be a bit noisy.

    Ya beat me too it, I just posted about O2Grow, I havn't used one though, their vids are impressive and my post outlines how to make one, if you are that way inclined as they are really expensive. Techead
