Maaaaan the quality on that video is so bad...
I dont understand how little kids can work these phones but I can't seem to take a pic that represents what I'm seeing in real life...

My pictures look dire unless I use the manual settings which is pain, every pic requires slightly different exposure and colour settings.
It does give a more accurate representation.
@Lemon king if you try your camera on manual settings, depending on the model you can adjust the colour and exposure of the video?

I'm about to finish off my irrigation system, I've bought the hydro halos and the reservoir and the pump and the timers and the wavemaker and everything and I'm just wondering if I need to add anything to the reservior to keep it from going stagnant or from building up algae or slime or something, like h202 or something? I'm growing in coco so I will be watering up to 5 times per day in flower

Its not essential if you're mixing up fresh nutrient regularly, a small pump is ideal.
That said some chlorine or H202 doesn't go wrong, I add 4/5 ppm of chlorine to my nutrient tank.
Eta...It's worth mentioning the reservoir needs to be light tight to prevent algae.

I've bought one of these 100L reserviors for £60 with no tap https://hytechydroponics.com/products/iws-flexi-tank-no-tap I'm not sure if it will be light tight or not. I ordered it the other day and it should be delivered soon so I'm just hoping that it has a hole at the top to put the flexible tube through it to help prevent any light from getting into it. I will be using tap water to fill my reservior up and I believe tap water already has chlorine in? Would I still need to add extra chlorine into the reservior? I have a EC pen and it doesn't read in ppm so I wouldn't know how to go about measuring 4/5 ppm unless I got a new meter that reads in ppm, my pen reads like 0.1, 0.2 0.3 EC. Also, if I do need to add extra h202 or chlorine would you be able to recommend a product to me? does it need to be a certain strength or anything? I found this on eBay and I'm not sure if it would work or not https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126325502841

Hey bud, yes that H202 you linked would be fine, I like that it's in a black container.
I can give you a link for £14 but the black container is worth the £2 extra imo.

Tbh I'd be surprised if your tank isn't light tight, worst case some black and white panda.
if you're using H202 you don't need to bother with chlorine.
If you do ever use chlorine (pool shock) you make a stock solution with it then take 1ml stock solution and add to 10ltr of nutrient, the instructions for it are readily available if you need them ask here.
I use bio-chlor chlorine tablets, 1 tablets does 2.5k litres at 5ppm so that makes it easy to work out the actual ppm of chlorine from a stock solution.

I was thinking about using the Hydrogen Peroxide (11.99%) but I'm not sure how much I would need to add to 100 liters of water in my reservior and when I would need to use it. Would I use it everytime the reservior is empty? After each time I re-fill the reservior?Hey bud, yes that H202 you linked would be fine, I like that it's in a black container.

1ml per liter for daily use or 2ml per litre for less frequent use, if you check the growth technology website you'll find all you need to know about it.

Thanks man. I'm just a bit confused with it all because I've been hand watering for the last 10 years and I've never done an automated system with a reservoir and stuff before. So do I just add 100ml of hydrogen peroxide to my 100 liter reservior every day or do I wait for all the water to be used first and then re-fill it and add another 100ml of hydrogen peroxide? I'm guessing my plants will use about 20 or 30 liters per day when they are in flower so a full reservior should last about 2 or 3 days1ml per liter for daily use or 2ml per litre for less frequent use, if you check the growth technology website you'll find all you need to know about it.

It would depend on how quickly you're getting through the nutrient, in a tank H202 lasts around 4 day's.
If you're reservior is taking 6/7 days to empty the initial 100 ml when you 1st mix it would be fine imo, alternatively you could add 50ml on the 4th day just to keep it active, that said a short time of it being inactive isn't going to cause problems as there's not enough time for nasties to develop.
We've all been where you are, just take it a step at a time, you'll be fine there's a lot of experience in this thread to help you.
