CT Guy - It sounds like you think you know what you're talking about, but I find no logic in your statements. What is .08cfm/gal? Other than 0.08 cubic feet per minute per gallon. Where is that number coming from? What does bubbling at a rate of 0.08cfm/gal do?
I have a big problem with the things you claim because these things obviously are not true, I've kept aquarium fish for years, the principals are all the same, just instead of microscopic organisms eating fish poop they're eating bat poop and worm poop. And why would aerobic bacteria need more dissolved O2 than fish? Fish swim, have more biomass, therefor need more oxygen to survive. And the bacteria and fish coexist, using the same oxygen supply. I'm certainly no scientist though, these are all just simple observations made without a microscope.
It's been established that you need to maintain dissolved oxygen levels above 6 mg/litre by Dr. Elaine Ingham if you wish to select for aerobic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. You can check out her website www.soilfoodweb.com
This is the industry standard, well documented, researched, and established.
Anerobic microbes can have a place in the soil food web as well. Check out "Effective Microorganisms" to learn more.
If you're making ACT (which is what we've been discussing), all of my above comments are accurate in regards to making a good tea.
