Depends on your setup. What are you running? With my rdwc system I keep the air pump on 24h. The more oxygen in the water the less chance for root rot.

Hello. Its good to saturate your water with oxygen once a day first thing in the morning. I would leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes. Chuck.

Additional environment control Options for extra humidity and temperature control. Continuous drain not a problem. My Rh can stay in the 80% range for weeks. Attempting to control a 10x10. Would a small window Ac remove enough humidity (easiest)? Portable AC/Dehumidifier? Stand-alone dehumidifier? Suggestions?
