I have a 250g ibc setup.Recently A fishtank builder told me to put a second 250gph. pump in the bottom to circulate the water.Are most of you guys running one pump to the grow bed and an additional one just for circulating water?
Thanks,
Mark

I do... but thats only because my flogged out 2 year old pump hasnt got enough grunt to circulate my FT.

New pump arrives soon and it will do the whole job.

My only experience here is that it is difficult to circulate water in a square FT. It kind of just swirls in a weird way.

Why not just run the one pump CF?
