Apologies if this has been seen many times on here but just came across this video - Video : comment entretenir les plus grands aquascapings du monde ? | AQUA-BLOG
Mind boggling... one question tho, when you see the back of the 7m tank you can see how deep the substrate is.... how do they stop all the anerobic bacteria building up?
Where do you think aquatic plants grow naturally? In anaerobic soil.
All flooded submersed soil is anaerobic. Unless it's like pure sand or has no organic matter.
I think that I this instance their questions on 'prevention of Anaerobic soil' is directed at fish health as oppose to plant health.
If it's anaerobic in the sediment, then by the very nature of anaerobic soil, you cannot have circulation from above, because then it would no longer be anaerobic, it would be aerobic.
If there's no circulation, then it cannot pose an issue because it's isolated from the aerobic zone where the livestock are. In both cases, plants and livestock, this should not be an issue, the same natural setting applied to fish in lakes and rivers, the sediment is still anaerobic other than a shallow small top layer, maybe 1-2 cm.
bit too much disrespect being put on the employees for my liking, where's that coming from?
Ps. Labor just looks wrong without a 'U' as does 'Color'

Understood, but in the enclosed environment, when it comes to tank maintenance, the aquarist could unwillingly displace said anaerobic bacteria and this would cause problems.
Less so in a stream or river which has millions of times more volume than the aquarists tank to absorb any threat such as this.
I am not, however, arguing with someone of your stature about aquascaping
