The other day I noticed that the water in my UC was a bit mirky and had some strange chunks floating around it. There was a bit of filmy buildup around the uniseals and some gunk right above the water level of the epicenter and the airstones were covered in some gunk also... The roots aren't covered with the brown slime that I have seen in the pics so I am not sure if that is the problem...
After doing some searching on here I think it might be the start of brown algae...
I am running Ionic grow, DM Zone, and Rapid Start from GH and my res temp is never above 67F... I figured that Zone would keep this brown shit away (if it is brown algae that is)...
Basically my question to you guys is what worked best for people that had to deal with this?
Also, did your water smell like a fishtank when you got the slime or do I possibly have something different?
I was probably going to discontinue the zone and use Heisenbergs tea recipe since I have all of the needed ingredients... Has anyone used this and had success?
Thanks,
