Air pump problems
10:10 am in Uncategorized by Sacha
Hello everybody! I constructed the three bottle window farm at home with an aquarium air pump. The pump gets the water up the tube to the third bottle but its very weak; drop by drop. However I think maybe that’s enough for what I’m doing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Airlift issues are usually a matter of tubing diameter, straightness in the line and depth of the nutrient solution, or a comibination of all 3.
it should be reminiscant of a percolating coffee maker. but, make sure you have a deep reservior and run the drip for a fair bit of time t make up for the miniscule drip.
Which method are you using? T-valve or the needles?
