here the first bit that came up tool like 0.4 secsThe Submersive Pump in Deep Water Culture
I am often asked the questions "which pump should I use?" and "when should I remove the water pump?"

Here I would like to discuss the use of the water pump in the single Deep Water Culture reservoir tank. StealthHydro offers 2 different manufactured submersible water pumps. The ActiveAqua Pump offers sizes of 40 gph, (gallons per hour) 160, 250, 400 gph. They also offer the Sunleaves DuraPump, that is larger, stronger and comes in 160, 245 and 600 gph. The 400 gph and 600 gph larger pumps are only for small outdoor ponds and very large hydroponics systems that use multiple tanks from one pump. I am privileged to be a member of a group of over 100 Deep Water Culture growers that meet daily on a web site and discuss and compare our experience with the Deep Water Culture Systems and using different pumps. We have all agreed that the smaller the pump the better. It is better to have a smaller trickle of water mixed with bubbles than to have a solid hard stream of water from a larger pump. We also agreed that the smaller pumps do not produce as much heat, and they cost less, but they are not as durable. I have used the SunLeaves 245 gph pumps in 4 consecutive grows, and they are still pumping strong. Both brands are easy to disassemble to clean. When and if I ever have to replace a water pump, I will go with the more economical 160 gph SunLeaves Pump or ActiveAqua Pump because either provides the right amount of water and bubbles and it runs slightly cooler. ​

Prune, crop, super cropping and low stress training. Basically caring for the plants and ensuring they are growing to their full potential. Really, please do some reading, learn a little then you will be better prepared to understand the question your asking and better yet, the answer you are getting.

but all these peoples plants must be dead since water pumps don't create any oxygen

If the water pump is out of your rez and shooting water into the surface of it to where it splashes a lot you will have a partially oxygenated rez. Don't you understand already that you have to have something breaking the surface to get bubbles below the surface to oxygenate water. Without that your plants will drown. Don't believe everything you read because there are people with your skill level that post on the internet and pretend like they know but they are just as bad as you.

240 (the decent rate in my area) x 16 (ounces) = 3840 for a lb of mid-high

If you were selling bulk to someone it should be more like 2800. Cus they gotta turn it for a profit.
