more bubbles the better, get a better pump and 3 more airstones.

I'm with Fubar you need more bubbles. I used to grow using dwc and my nute solution churned viloently like a raging river. Probably overkill but I used sunleaves durapumps and oxystones and ran 100gph air output per gallon of water. Even then I still had slight root rot every now and then. I wised up moved on to drip systems and am now dabbling in fogponics. Good luck dude
