again im not knocking what you've said because obviously it worked for you, but just my input and my experience.
So your net pots being submerged prevented the roots from growing into oxygenated water?

I doubt that. This is after all the idea of DWC, if the roots were to stop growing on contact with water they would never fill a dwc res, now would they?

peace n pot.
