In my opinion is bacteria based biofilm. Heisenbubble uses hydroguard and I use food grade H202. Sometimes I wonder if one doesn't work better than the other depending on the source water and other variables. I didn't have good luck with hydroguard but I am considering giving it another try cause I want to try beneficial bacteria like Mammoth.My neighbor, who isn't a grower but works in pharma, was suggesting it might be the Sloughing of plant cells from roots. Doing some research right now about this to see what it is exactly.
Bigger or more airstones means more DO so the concept would work by not allowing the breeding of anaerobic bacteria?
Would temperature spikes also be cause of this sludge?
No, I explained air and water flow through pipes and ducts a couple of weeks ago.Shouldn't the pressure be the same no matter the length once it reaches its end?
Meaning if there were ten houses all the same size but varying lengths that attached to stones that only let 5% of the air through them. In this situation wouldn't it not matter about the length of the hoses since the maximum level of air hasn't escaped the system?
So even with an overabundance of water pressure in the system it would still show differentials?No, I explained air and water flow through pipes and ducts a couple of weeks ago.
Where are you getting 4 extra gallons.those totes are gonna take over 100 gallons to fill up easy
I use to cover.mine with tar epoxy but dont seem to matter.i had issues covering the net pots with that bubble shit.got crown and stem rot from all the moisture it was trapping around the stemReady to go and getting anxious!
Will have been running for 72 hours before plants go in. 360ppm, 6.0ph and 66-68 degree water. Water cooler has a 2 degree swing in normal operation.
Filter installed and planning on getting new clones for it this Saturday.

Thats not your issue,I have a 2 foot rise also,You shouldnt have that much bacteria and that filter wont remove pathogens,Only organic matter.Its a waste of time.How is that bacillus substitute working out?Finally figured out the issue.
There's a 2 foot rise from the water pump to the chiller. Instead of the bacteria making it to my filter post chiller it's getting stuck before the pump inside the 1" return line. It just poured out of there when I disconnected the pump.
My solution is to place the filter before the pump at floor level and I'm hoping this will allow the filter to remove it like it should.
Any advice on cleaning out a 10' return line? I can't think of anything that is long enough of small enough to fit in there and clean it out. I assume a pool shock sterilizing alone will not remove it?

Instead of having the filter on ur chiller that's after ur pump y not run it in our control bucket so then u don't have to shut ur pump off to clean it plus it stays dry ....Like how I did mine....Filter installed and planning on getting new clones for it this Saturday.
