Foam in res

I grow In coco hempy buckets and made a res for easier watering due to the grow being on a second floor. Everything was fine yesterday.. I phed the water and watered my plants. I wake up today with a little foam in the corner of my res.. What is this? The foam is pink because I use maxi bloom as nutes. I keep my pump on all the time and just stick the hose in the res the hose is clear they didn't have black.. It isn't a lot of foam, but I'm wondering if it's something I should be worried about. This is day 2 on the same set of water

Turbulent water like in a stream will cause water foam.
You have good water flow? you didn't use any soaps in cleaning your system? that's a big No,No...
IMO- if your plant looks good. pH is good, PPM is good, temp is good, roots look good. Your good to go

Good Luck on Your Grow.

the stream part your right. I have a notch on my trash can for the hose to sit, and it goes in the res but it's above the water like a stream. Since that's good, you relieved me a lot. Everything was good and then I seen that today and was like oh shit what did I do now haha...
