Canna coco a+bBeneficial microbes do not do that overnight, only if air was lost and then they would not cause that slime on your finger.
What else are you putting into your solution?
If thats all your using...ditch the airstones and air pump. You will make your pH rise as the oxygen reacts with the pH adjusters. And the air in general can cause wonky shit to happen. Canna even says no go with airstones in tanks.Canna coco a+b
Canna zym
Rhizotonic
Boost
That's it
You've got to be fucking with me.If thats all your using...ditch the airstones and air pump. You will make your pH rise as the oxygen reacts with the pH adjusters. And the air in general can cause wonky shit to happen. Canna even says no go with airstones in tanks.
Yes I have a lidThat air pump is 253gph total, spread across 4 outlets = 253/4 =63.25 gph.
Resivior covered? Was it sterilized first with stones and hose's.
If I had to guess about the bio-sludge. Reaction that quick is a contamination or chemical precipitation.
Mix some in a glass and see if it reacts the same way.
Like I said up there I run almost 1000 gph pumps into koi pond stones in a 25g res with 0 issue. This makes me think of the slime you get using lemon juice or other sheet like vinegar for pH adjustment.So is it not enough air or too much guys?
I haven't used any ph adjustment as the ph came out perfect 6 and is still at 6Like I said up there I run almost 1000 gph pumps into koi pond stones in a 25g res with 0 issue. This makes me think of the slime you get using lemon juice or other sheet like vinegar for pH adjustment.
So I need about 4x the air?Like I said up there I run almost 1000 gph pumps into koi pond stones in a 25g res with 0 issue. This makes me think of the slime you get using lemon juice or other sheet like vinegar for pH adjustment.
I mean I would dump it out as well clean and rise it good then refill with base first, wait add Rhizo, wait add boost and see which one is doing this sheet. I can't in good faith recommend no air /circulation. But im with ya on the resetChange out the res. Make it exact same just ditch the air pump and air stone for 24 to 36 hours. Then check if you got gypsum or brown sludge. Just try it. And then get back to us. What is your starting water EC & pH???
