I feel that the uptake and issues you are dealing with are due to the aeration and the root system. The Air pump you have coming should help quite a bit. I hope that you also have some good size air stones coming also . My suggestion would be to focus on cleaning the root system with some Hydrogen Peroxide in the res. This is the pump I run but remember I have custom diffusers and I'm aerating 5 buckets total and my line is 3/4," ET120 also I'm pushing aeration to its limits, I also have a pressure regulator and valve at the end of the line to regulate the airflow in my system.. The one you have on the way comes out to about 31 liters per minute and the safe recommended range is 1-2 lpm per gallon of solution. what's your water temp ? I would also turn down the light if it has a dimmer to eliminate stress until you get the new air pump installed and the res/root zone situated. Is that a bowl of ice next to your bushy lady ?
