Weird stuff in the stock solution

Have2 · Aug 21, 2020

I am wondering if anyone can chime in about.. what the hell is that shit?

This is my stock solution that I pump into the system to maintain ppm... ~4500ppm in a tote of 100 liters... It does that shit after ~48hours... I tried with aeration, no aeration, with lid, no lid... There is only calmag, bloom a/b

Thanks!

Looks like gunkies from light or something

Better clean your entire system

Weird... First week, everything's clean... Now this

I'll reduce the volume of the feeder I think...

Anyone know what is the max concentration we can put in 4 gals?

You can turn it into a rock if you want, but not understanding why

To be able to inject over X days without replenishing the stock topoff

Ok.. first, at 4500 it's perfectly fine...

Take the ppm of your stock solution and tell me if it grows an alien...

Second, my system thrives... The roots are stunning, it's just weird that, for 1 week everything was fine and all of sudden, gunk...

I have not been able to dissolve my stock. At best I got a suspension.

As for the rock... No, each elements has its own maximum solubility, we'll see precipitation before rock

That one is interesting. Usually precipitate acquires on the bottom of the res.
Must be something to do with the magnetic field of the pump.
In general, A & B must go in separate stock tanks. Most likely a calcium and phosphorus issue :peace:

My guess is bacteria. I’ve had wispy white bacterial blooms grow in stored nutrient.

About the pump.... I changed for a smaller one and... Clean today... (I didn't pump anything from that tank) just doing some test.... I am wondering if the pump had a role in the gunk

Will do some more test in the coming days!

As for bacteria, I added hypochlorus acid... And still... Usually, everything's clean using this, especially in such a short delay.

Hypochlorite is good stuff so ~shrug~ got me

So... To those that were laughing....

Actually, it was really the pump that was causing the gunk. I put the small one that was there before and 20000% clean!

Magnetic field could have attracted the minerals? It's damn weird! I love science! Eheh

is that a mag drive pump? looks just like a plastic impeller type.

Not a mag drive brand but in the same kind.
