Hey everyone, its been a while since I've posted here, but I need a bit of help with my new hydroponic setup. I'm starting a small miniature garden in my closet with cheap supplies just to set up a few initial hydroponically grown plants. Of course, if I make enough money, I'll be able to buy a better setup.
My ONLY problem right now is that I need someone to tell me how much should I oxygenate my water!!!!!
THANKS!

i would go to a local petstore and buy a pump and air stone kit, but buy the largest airstone and a decent pump as a crappy pump and huge airstone would not be efficient enough to pump enough air into the stone. can i ask wat materials u are using as i would like to make a cheap hydroponic setup as well. thanx and good luck!

Well, in my bedroom closet, I set up a small container with water mixed with plant food, use a strainer to catch seeds after I've germinated them, and suspend the strainer over the water so that the seeds are submerged. Then I set a flourescent light over the plants. Thats only my plans. Not what I have yet. I want to use my dead fishes water pump to just pump oxygen into the air but I want to know I'm not overdoing it... or not doing it enough.

i dont really think you can overdo it but a fish pump should work great.
