    Default Answered: Flood and drain question

    Hi all, i think i have a problem regarding the flood and drain bit.
    Can i run the flood and drain continuously if i put an air stone in the main tank. Ive done aqua pots before and thats what i did before but im new to the ebb and flow. Can anyone give me advice please.

    Don’t see any reason why not there’s enough air so you should be fine just make sure you check those ph and ec on the regular as you’ll lose more water on a continuous flow.

    Good luck
