Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Small Island

Here's another idea
In an aquaponics raft system those plants that "raft" above airstones
Grow bigger and faster than those not above airstones
This is not a DO effect as this has been measured
The thought is the disturbance of the roots stimulates growth

I think if you placed the island over the aerator/ diffuser you would also get better growth
And no black funky root balls

And yes only certain plants will tolerate wet roots all the time
