new to forum, not to growin. Need help with unknown organism swimming in nute solution. Ebb and grow feed 4 x/day for 1/2 hr. Had these before, they attack roots, causing beautiful plants to go yellow and loose leaves. They look like small white arrows swimming in nute solution when viewed in a shot glass with 4x loop. was able to kill them last round, started this time with all new hose, hydroton, and hugo blocks. Any ideas?

Silverfish?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverfish
Water borne and very small. Moves well in water. Cannot see where silverfish have a part of their lifecycle in water, but I'm still checking. I do have silverfish from time to time in an adjacent room. Do you know more? Used pyrethrin concentrate in nute solution last time with good results. Used weaker concentration this time(shit smells toxic) and did not get a clean kill. Still trying to ID the organism, and figure out how I am getting reinfested. R/O water and diligent about cleanliness. No other visible pests. Local shop has never seen anything like it. Help is much appreciated! Thx.
