    Heat from a piston pump, also noise

    Anyone know how to reduce the noise and heat generated by a pond pump? I love the smell of cannabis getting ready for sleep it's like a mowed lawn but with cannabis.

    Plumbing for handy pump is sorted, suction doesn't work well when the pipe leading into the pump is too long so I've placed it in the room instead of under the kitchen sink.

    Drip Hydroponics Question

    I have a General Hydroponics Waterfarm grow kit. It is the kind that you use an air pump to push water up to a drip line to feed around the plant. My question: Do I leave the air pump on 24/7 or do I put it on a timer and have it on/off on a schedule?

    Centralized Oxygenation Instead of Pump per Bucket

    Hi, I have used a few bubble pots each with their own air pump and stone. Now I am putting together a larger system with 9 20l pots. I was wondering would it be just as good to have a lot of air being pumped into a central reservoir and that oxygen rich water is then pumped through the...
