I've had cloudy white water with a ring of froth around the surface twice during my latest grow. Running eight 5g buckets for veg. The first time I filled up the buckets with 130ppm tap water and left them bubbling for about 48 hours. I mixed in Pro-Tekt, DG Grow, and some nameless benes, then GH ph down. The water became cloudy white after 12-24 hours, and cleared up on its own after about 48 hours.
The next time just happened. I filled a bucket with tap water, used API tap water conditioner, then Pro-Tekt, Grow, Pond-Zyme, and ph down.
I know the cloudiness isn't coming from Dyna-Gro Grow. It happened with tap water that was conditioned, and water that has bubbled for 2 days... so I don't think it is anything in my tap water or conditioner. It has happened while using Pond-Zyme and some no-name benes. The only thing left is Pro-Tekt. I have no light leaks, water stays around 65-72 but it has gone higher when I missed a round of ice bottles.
So, either Pro-Tekt is turning my water cloudy white, or the benes are killing stuff in my res?
