Air

I was wondering if you could put a air pump in a drip system and a flood and drain system to help the water temp and help the circulation of the water.:joint:

Yes you can, it'll help keep the water oxygen rich and help with circulation, but I doubt it will have an effect on temperature.

the air you pump into your res tank will have an effect on the temp of it, if you have an air pump that has warm air going into it, and it also heats the air up somemore, this will raise you res temp, if you can feed the air pump with cool air, it will help to keep the res tank cool, Kind of like blowing on your coffee to cool it off a little. will not be a great amount, but sometimes ever little bit matters.

I have two large air disk in my res tank, helps keep the soup mixed and fresh, and lots of air in it also. I also have a 220 gph water pump submerged in my rez tank with a Tee fitting on it, to put more mixxing current in the soup. I do not like my nuts to just lay there and get bored, I like them to be bounzing around the place ready for action at a moments noticed, nor settleing to the bottom.
