Are the chemicals heavier than water? If much hevier the tank would have to have a low point or low line and the air in medium sized bubbles ( not air stone bubbles but at least double thata size would have to originate where the heavy chmicals settle. In such an arrangement the air would stir much better than paddles. Will the air affect the chemicals? Oxidize them?

Hi all. I have an off topic question which I would like to put to everyone
out there. Has anyone done any work with agitation of chem. fertilizer in
tanks, using air instead of paddles. It seems to me that our ACT machines
should do a great job of agitating the solution. Yes ,I know, why would
someone want to use chem. fert instead of ACT :-)The guy in question is an
IPM fruit farmer with three of my 1200 liter ACT tanks, so any preaching
would be to the converted. He is even an occasional visitor to this group.
Thanks in advance.
