SLF-100 Creating "Boogery" reservoir?

So I've began using the AutoPot system. My choice of nutrients for a good baseline experiment was to use a good solid base nutrient that I've used in the past. I chose Botanicare CalMag+ & Botanicare CNS17 Grow/Bloom/Ripe.

When I mix my reservoir I'm starting out with fresh 15 PPM Reverse Osmosis water.
  1. Clean reservoir using 35% Hydrogen Peroxide & Water, scrub entirely clean then rinse with pure RO
  2. Add 10 gallons of water to reservoir
  3. Add 2 oz (60 ml) CalMag+
  4. Add 4 oz (120 ml) CNS17 Bloom
  5. Add 1 oz SLF-100
  6. PH lands at ~5.8-6 which is perfect for my coco feeding, no ph adjustment required.
In that order.. Everything looks fine, no issues until maybe 8-14 hours? I then see weird booger looking stuff floating all around in the freshly spotlessly cleaned reservoir. Before adding SLF-100 I wasn't having this issue.. I'd really like to use SLF-100 but even more I'm interested in why SLF-100 is failing with CNS17 when SLF-100 claim to work with anything and that you can't use too much. lol seems to be a pretty finicky product.

no experiance, but could it be a congealing of nutes that are reacting with one another?
I doubt it because the nutrients are the same brand and its a 1 part nutrient. SLF-100 is suppose to be an enzymatic formula that works with organic & hydro nutrients.
 

go go kid
