I cleaned my res yesterday and roots were white. Now today it looks like I have root rot.

I have 6 plants in a diy aero set up.

Using gh 3 part nutes and diamond nector.

I do have pond-zyme and dutchmaster zone and 3 percent h202 not being used yet.

Should I run the zone or the pond-zyme or can I run both? Can I also use 3% h202 with them or will it kill the good stuff too? Which should I use, or what combo?

I was thinking about just giving them a root bath and soaking them in (half cup of h202 per gallon) if so for how long?

Then adding zone to the cleaned out res.

I will go to the hydro store on monday (closed sat and sunday) but what can I do in the meantime? And do I even need to go if I use what I have.

Roots dont stink or feel slimmy yet. Could it be another type of algae?

I cool the 20 gallon res with frozen gallon jugs an it fluctuates between 68 and 72 degrees. Thanks in advance, im nervous and need help asap.

They dont smell or fall off but I feel like its because its the beginning stages as my roots were white yesterday. I dont see how it would get nute stain over night because I just upped ppms from 300 to 350. when i run my fingers down them, little specs of brown are on my fingers so i assumed it wasn't stained, and was an algae. I know my temps are still too high and ordered a chiller. im only running 350 ppms at this stage so figured it was to low to stain. Any thoughts on my pond zyme, dm zone, h202 combo? It kind of smells like pond water but not really bad.
