Hello all... Long time no see...
I'm about to go all bubble nazi on a bunch o' lunk headz.... But, I gotta make sure that I am correct....
Say you got yourself a five gallon bucket of water. Fresh, or salt, doesn't matter....
And you want to "aerate" or "oxygenate" the water using a bubbler and air stone...
A) Is the transfer of gas in the bubbles or does it occur at the surface from the water movement?
-and-
B) The function of the bubbles is to move water for gas exchange at the surface and also for the water movement keeping the bacteria in from settling out and suffocating their selves (can a bacterium be a self? (there'd be an in depth discussion), but to keep the bacteria from settling out on the bottom and suffocate themselves.
C) if the oxygenation comes from the bubbles themselves, then I'm Tha d.a., possibly. Who knows? I stay pretty medicated.
