Do I have the dreade black slime?!?

Private album, needs password to view.

It is usually tan/ brownish, will get on roots and airstones. Looks like snot , sometimes with bubbles in it, and it is a bacterial infection .... if you have the slime that is.
 
That does look really black.. I know my nutes stain my roots brown. What kind of nutes/color/consistency? Does your rez smell bad now?
 
I'm using House & Garden Aqua Flakes. The res is chilled to 68 degrees and there is no smell in the res or if I put the black slime on my fingers?!? I've added some microbe tea and also hydrozym. We'll see what happens.
 
Definitely not the nutes. Checkout the picture of the filter. Its a heavy thick black gunk. I'm using H&G and it is the color of tea. Maybe a little lighter.

If it's not the nutes then you know what it is.. I suggest h202 before inoculating.. but I guess it's too late now =/
