Hi all, I'm going to try and find some "ammonia oxidising microbes in drinking water references", but so far I haven't found any sand filter etc. references <"Metagenomic profiling of ammonia- and methane-oxidizing microorganisms in two sequential rapid sand filters"> that include pre-treatment...

Hi all, I've got even less idea of where to put this one, so I'll leave it in "substrates", even though they are the component that is entirely lacking in this study. Bartelme RP, Oyserman BO, Blom JE, Sepulveda-Villet OJ, Newton RJ. (2018) "Stripping Away the Soil: Plant Growth Promoting...

Hi all, I'm not quite sure where to put this, so I'll pop it in "Substrates". I've talked a bit about plants being able to change the conditions in the substrate, in <"the rhizosphere">, to favour "beneficial microbes" and this paper quantifies that, using RNA libraries. It also talks about...

I've ran air-stones at lights out, I've ran them 24/7 with co2 cranked up to compensate. The battle for good oxygen levels without de-gassing co2 always seems to take place at the water surface which recently led me to an idea/experiment. What if I create "another" surface which I can aerate...
