Umm, I don't have a clue! I'm pretty much just following the lead
of other setups I've seen. Are you talking about avoiding anaerobic
bacteria, or inviting anaerobic bacteria? From what little I understand
about it, anaerobic bacteria is useful to consume nitrates, correct? If
that's the only benefit of it, I really don't want it. I want the
nitrates to remain available to my plants.
