/j what are you using for an air pump for compost tea? Fish tank air pump or something stronger needed for a 5 gal bucket?

I found an old water pump and modified it to pump the water back into the bucket, introducing air when it splashes in.

I didn't have a fish tank air pump, or I would have used that.

Just anything to keep oxygen in the water. The bacteria consume it pretty quickly when they reproduce.
