How many lpm of 90% oxygen do u think u would need per m3 of water aka 1000 litters |

About 16lpm... 1000lph.... Give or take... depending on fish species... number of fish...

Just curious, but would it be cheaper and easier to just use an oxygen tank? I imagine a welding supplier would stock them. |

For the psa thingy I have read that all u need to do is pump the air throught the zeolite at 20 ish psi and it will aborsurbe the n and u will be left with oxygen and u have to pay rent on oxygen bottles Ps oxygen could be used for back up oxygen ie when the power goes out etc |

Yer I thinks so it suck out the nirgen from the zeolite on wiki is says that vpsa is really good for aquaculture |

It's an option becoming more prevalent in aquaculture... but most oxygen injection systems in aquaculture are either bottle/tank gas... or ozone generators/cones... |

So make ozone and then convert it to oxygen and inject into the system |

A local commercial aquaculture has come up with an alternative. I believe it's patented so i'll leave the legal issue to you. Basically the idea is that oxygen can be fored into the water under pressure, so they drilled a deep hole and inserted a U shaped tube into the ground. At the bottom of the tube they inject an airstream and the pressure at whatever depth they are at forces the o2 into the system. I have not bothered to go through the physics of it all, but i am sure there are formulas out there that you can determine how deep and how much air and volume of water you need to acchieve the rate you need. Certainly seems a simple concept of getting gasses into the water. One of those things filed away in the back of my mind to get frustrated at later when i want to try it. poppa |

they might be trying to "patent" it, but it's been used in bio-remdiation, and waste water treatement.... |

No way they could patent it..."u-tube" aerators have been around for donkeys years... Discussed here... viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9340 And some tech info... http://ag.arizona.edu/azaqua/ista/ISTA7 ... nation.pdf |

What do u think about injecting via venturis under pressure is it a good idear or not |
