Why should I use a air pump to aerate my seed solution instead of using the vortex method?
Aeration is very important when rehydrating PolySeed. The bacteria in PolySeed require a sufficient amount of air (i.e. oxygen) to reproduce correctly. Many labes aerate the PolySeed by pulling a vortex (the tornado-like funnel that occurs when a liquid is being stirred fast). Whe you use this method the vortex sucks outside air into the solution. We do not recommend this method due to the stress it puts on the bacteria.
