I just got slimed... unleashed a slime bomb

Make your buckets light proof. Cover up that hydrotron which has gaps in it and letting light into your res!

hmm .. im not the guy that can speak on hydro outside of chemical lines i do however know that ANYTHING organic ran in a hydro system has a huge chance of issues from ph swings to stagnate chemicals... even shitty buildup issues.... but thats more for someone else to comment on i stopped hydro a long time ago...

I'm glad you got it sorted out. If I were you, I'd stick with the tea. As you know, it has many benefits over simply guarding against slime and rot: greater nutrient uptake and the ability to allow for slightly higher water temps (if your keeping the water DO high enough). I ran rdwc for the first few years, and Heis' tea saved my life back then. I do F&D now, so I run sterile with Zone with no problems. Good luck!
