So today while working on the ladies I noticed some small, black work looking creatures on my roots. Anyone know what these little guys are, and if so, how to eradicate the problem? Attached a pic that I took with handheld microscope.

Does it have legs? Like a millipede?

Fly larvae.
Got any fliers?
Those hairs are likely velcroing the beast to your roots.
How many you see?

drain fly lavae.I had all sorts off issues before now i keep my water level up past the top squares on the net pots and no more issues.That little air space was a breeding ground for bad bacteria and fly larvae.It sits out of the water and the heat from the lights plus the warm air from the stones would create a fucked up environment in that little 3 inch space where the roots hang down.I ran this last run with my water level all the way up and have never had roots as clean and pretty as i do now.Also cut out all the organic garbage in my res.I just started running part A and B floraduo and calimagic and thats it.My plants are loving life.

So you completely submerged your net pots, or just covered exposed roots?

Yes, bubble buckets. Just covered the roots, so I guess we'll see how it goes. Any additives you used? Or just drowning the bastards?

No addidtives.I have been using hydroguard also and think it is making a huge difference also.I tried all kinds of shit when my water chiller calibration got out of wack for a week.hydroguard saved my plants.
