hey Brath... you have a classic case of of pathegens growing in your tank.. not to much of a big deal.... you must start a a dosing schedule fo h202 in your tanks... you can usually get hydrogen peroxide at your hydro store ... 35 % grade at 2 mil per gal should start to clear things up..... your first dose should be a little heavy 4 mil per to blast it a little .. doesnt look like root rot yet but no action will eventually lead to that and then its almost to late.... good luck

I only have 3% pharmaceutical grade H2o2 can I use that and what would be the dose. My feeding schedule is set for a half an hour per two hours during the H2o2 dosing treatment should I run a continuous feed for the dosing treatment?

Keeping the res. temp under 70 F will help prevent the growth of the bad bacteria as well. I think 65 - 68 F is ideal. You can't guesstimate it either... you need to get a thermometer in there and get a reading.
I'm really liking ZONE from Dutch Master as a root treatment/conditioner. In fact I prefer it over H2O2.

hey florida girl... not to sure about zone... looked at the msd sheet it lists no ingredients .. not to sure what the " it has a chlorine smell " means .... they claim " same as water treatment plants all over the world " must be oxy plus .. witch is a form of h2o2 .... keeping your nutes simple is the road to good growing ... mfg are always trying to get you to buy there new and improved something or other ... h202 works to control pathegens . and in the process supply oxygen as it breaks down... hope this helps....

Well I'm not a scientist or a botanist so I don't know about all that. All I do know is I've tried both and in my particular situation ZONE worked better and my plants showed improvement overnight. I do not notice a "chlorine smell".
Every grower has their preferences, I was just throwing out another option for the poster to consider. No need to post and tell me I'm wrong, it happens to be my preference and it was just a suggestion.
