No to the bubbler due to what RTB said. A bubbler doesn't give enough
circulation in a long VF without flow. ) ~ jan

They also need the ammonia from the pond that is produced by the fish. That
is the food for the first of the two beneficial bacteria. They will produce
nitrite, which is the food for the second.

BV, run the pump 24/7, besides the plants working on the nutrients there
are bacteria in the VF breaking down the nutrients for the plants, those
bacteria need O2 to work at their best. Shutting down the pump for an
hour will decrease your bacteria action and reproduction. ~ jan

Even if I have a bubbler in the VF?
