Great 3000th post Dr. Bruce! I am curious about the efficiency of circulation versus bottom diffusers and aeration as it relates to DO throughout the entire water column. I read your previous post about DO throughout the entire column after just circulating and it caused me to consider circulation over aeration. Does circulation use more energy than aeration? Is it more effective even though it consumes more energy? Is one better for different types of fish than another? Does one effect temperature at depths more than another?

So many questions...
