Surface Aeration 101—Oxygenation via 'Ripple Effect' and Surface Agitation
G'day. In this video I run through surface aeration 101 which involves using an aerator (or aerators) on the water surface to agitate the surface causing gas exchange, i.e., entry of good gases like oxygen and removal of bad gases like hydrogen sulphides. I run through how a surface aerator works to improve your water (reduce weeds, algae, odour, sludge etc) by adding oxygen, what the benefits of are in comparison to sub-surface aerators, and also the drawbacks of surface aerators. See the chapters below to jump ahead.

Biostim is a 100% natural biological stimulant made of bacterial cultures, enzymes and nutrients. You can think of it as a probiotic that feeds the “good” microbes (aerobic 'oxygen-loving' bacteria) in your dam, much the same way you might eat Greek yoghurt or drink Kombucha to feed the “good” microbes in your gut. These “good” bacteria actively produce enzymes, speeding up the breakdown of org...
