Possible Root Rot in RDWC?!

Help! I'm running a 4 bucket RDWC with a 5th bucket as a control reservoir. I decided to take a look at my root zones (as I do periodically), and I noticed this light colored slime...! Yet the top sides of the plants are looking very healthy...

I have been running Jack's Hydro Feed and Jack's Blossom Booster as my nutes with 4ml/Gallon of Armor SI. My guardian meter always shows my res temps as 70 or lower. I have 1 Large air stone per bucket, powered by a 18 watt 793gph air pump. Do I need more air? 8 air stones and 2 pumps or 4 air stones and 2 air pumps? And I put paint screens in the buckets to stop roots from growing into the return pipes, but the roots are growing through it instead. Do the paint screens need to be removed? Please help guys I'm super scared of losing these plants.
