Hi guys, I have been hand feeding daily in coco for the last 10 years and I decided to get a 100 liter flexi tank and I am wondering how much h2o2 or chlorine I should use in my reservoir to stop it from going slimey and smelly? And what is the best to use in a reservior? is chlorine or h2o2 better? I am doing a drain to waste grow in coco. What products do you guys use to keep your res clean? And what are the effects of using too much or too little h2o2 or chlorine in your res when growing hydroponically?

I gots the flexitank theyre great aside from the spouts, they piss me off. Must tighten them from leaking but too tight itl crack.

I asked the community what to do with poolshock and one said .3gs per 10gal water should do the trick for 3 ppm to be effective.

It keeps my reservoir clean and clear, I add every 5-6 days. I recently tried throwing it in to dissolve from the wave maker and it works.

I tried h2o2 its to expensive and doesnt work nearly as well IME the pool shock is a beast. Its meant for swimming pools go figure. One can ought to last forever.

Do you know what product I should use when it comes to pool shock because there is a lot of different brands. Will this do the trick? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235419694161 And do you know how many grams that will equal to 100 liters of water dude?

I just use this brand HtH. That would be .3 gs per 37.854 liters I would do .78gs. I would do slightly more to compensate for the .41 gallons.

Not a math guy but youll have to figure it out each time depending how much is in reservoir as you may not use all the solution in a week.

As you may know Ive only been growing couple years Il have to let others answer more questions thats all I can offer for this.

So idk what brands I thought it was like bleach, I didnt know there were many to choose. Just need chlorine I guess.
