it is minimal. and even such in 1/2 a hour it only at most would add 0.13 of a gal on average so when you put that into 140 gal of water you don't notice it at all. I mix at 6am, noon, 6 pm and midnight for 1 min each. I am building an addition for my reactor that will creat a saturated zone that isn't afected by the stiring but that will probably take mine from 3 foot tall to about 4 foot.
