Air pumps: It is absolutely necessary to oxygenate the nutrient tanks and prevent the water from stagnating. A pump + silicone tube + diffuser stone are needed.

Hydrogen Peroxide (OxyMax)

It is used as a disinfectant agent in hydroponic systems and also oxygenates the nutrient solution, although its qualities are limited and it will always be Additional air pump is required. The relationship between roots and oxygen is of great importance and is often overlooked.
