Hey guys . I mix my nutes in a 25 gal res. I have noticed that there is a brownish slime growing on my airstones and in my res in general. Could it be one of the nutes? Any ideas?

Sorry the res is only used to hold the mixed water/nutes . I grow in soil. No plants have contact with the res. I will try to get pics. Asap. But its just a slime.

Peroxide seems to react with whatever it is . So i am doing a peroxide wash . Then gonna try to mix up 1/2 a batch and see what i get . Hopefully peroxide treatment will be enough. Im sooo broke.

Cant say it worked . I cleaned res and sprayed with peroxide dilute. Im just gonna mix enough to use from now on . It takes around 19 gallons to water all my plants and its a 25g res . So i will just have to be more careful to not let it build up.

Thanks again.
