What's the temp of your res. water? Are your roots nice and white?

Also, what nutes? Some nutes will foam up a little the first day or so.

Did you have to use a lot of pH up or down in order to get to your desired pH? I know that too much pH up will foam up your water.
You're using the liquid nutes from Flora, correct?

It could potentially be algae or a bacterial formation.
The only thing I could suggest is scrubbing out your res. with 50% H2O2, refill with fresh water and add a little H2O2 to your res.
Do your air lines look clean or are they all gunked up? I've seen problems arise with clean res's but there was algae in the lines and the pump blew it all right into the clean res.

I would recommend getting the 50% if you can. You can get that at any hydro shop.
If you can't get 50%, you can use the 3% that you can get from any drug store. You'll obviously need to use more 3% than 50%.
It's not expensive.

Not a bad idea. I would transplant your plants to any healthy environment you can find until you get your hydro setup all sorted out.
Good luck, bro!
