I heard that foam is from the algea bro. I had the same things plus some small bugs in the res. Make sure you lightproof your res. duct tape it or use that shiny silver tape and add two tsp of h202 to your res that should clear it up

Last night i put 3 tsp of 3% h2o2 in the res, it looked good this morning when i came home the foam was back. i put my pump back in hoping the moving water and filter might help. i'll have to check in a few hours and see. i will duct tape the res, are you talking the whole res or just the lid?

Looks awesome man. I took out my pump after just 2 weeks. The pump is only really necessary for the first week or so, until the roots are in the water.

Hello, putting the pump back in helped i think, the foam is gone. The pump with out the feeder tubes really sloshes the water around good. i'm going to start flowering tonight i think, i'm using a 600 watt HPS. my last grow (soil) i had 3 plants and used a 150 watt hps. so 4 times the wattage, do you think it will be 4 times the yeild, i remember reading some where it's like estimate 1 gram per watt.

The C5 ZO6's are the bomb! Also I like your location lol just a side bar.

But about the foam...
I used to have problems with a little foam in my res. I think Mine was off-white in color. Anyway I had some beneficials in there and they kept multiplying and caused some foaming. An awesome way to fix this is to put a small airstone inside a sea sponge (it has to be one of those "sea sponges" that used to be alive because it works better) and then but it in your res. The bacteria will colonize the sponge and the foam should dissapear.
