Grow Mediums Is there such a thing as too much air bubbles

[jokgga]

Reading up on @Mañ'O'Green Deep Water Culture Basics - Bubbleponics, it was mentioned to use multiple air pumps for redundancy and also for air.

I have a small 5 gallon 6" Powergrow DWC system. This system comes with a small 29 gph air pump and a 1.7" stone.

I am growing a single plant and want to make sure it gets enough oxygen so I decided to buy a Vivosun 332 GPH Air pump and Two 4x2inch air stone cylinders.

My plan was to either just use the Vivosun or have both air pumps, for redundancy.
Is this too much for a single system or ideal for my set up?

I always used two pumps for redundancy after a failure I had that nearly killed the plant. It never was the same after only 1 day without aeration. You do not need to worry about too much air just the size of the bubbles and the turbulence in the reservoir. The smaller the bubbles the better the oxygen exchange and the less turbulence for the same volume of air.

thanks.. do you think 3 stones in a 5 gallon bucket is going to create too much turbulence?

Put them in a bucket of water and turn them on and look at it. Is it a soft roll or a washing machine?
