[compost_tea] Re: Pumping air in is not the best way to aerate your tea
Sure can.
I would check with the following sources:
Any state water quality program (Wildlife)
Aquarium industry (Fish life)
Hydroponics industry (Plant life)
Here are a couple of links that will get you started:

It's not the oxygen in the bubbles that's important, it's the water
movement that they create. There are better ways to get water
movement than blowing bubbles.
If you find that using bubbles is the best way, please let us know
why!
