yea i have a water feature but i didnt include it in my false bottom.what i did was have the waterfall circulate into a seperate bowl and not filter through into my false bottom.i made this decision because i was afraid that if it got clogged,id have to dig everything alll up.so the answer to your question is no,the water collecting in my false bottom is not being airated.this could be the problem??i do frequent water changes but im afraid at this rate of watering and emptying the false bottom,ill eventually depelete the soil of all nutrients.should this be a concern??
