hi there, what kind of issues does oxidation cause? just curious as I would have thought that higher DO would improve plant growth and health? Also what DO levels does your system operate at?
You can have DO thats too high in aquaponics. There was a large lettuce facility that was using both airlifts and raft aeration and it was holding there pH around 8. The other downside to overaerating is that it burns thru your iron quickly which is one of your biggest expenses after power and labor and more than fish food in genera per year. You want to hold the do between 8 and 10 ideally. Most of the systems i run or manage are in teh 7 - 10 range.
