I am running my girls on blumats, with GH micro/bloom and drip clean nothing organic. I noticed snot looking stuff in my res. I started using h2o2 in it and got new res, black, and turned my ac down to 65 degrees. still have snot shit in there. please help, I have no organic anything in there, no light gets in there and I have 4 airstones in each one, it bubbles like crazy. I don't understand, I have done everything I have been able to find to do and nothing is working, someone please help.

I found running the water through a bio filter helps. You can make one by putting lava rock in a bucket that the water can go into, and then back out into your res. The lava rock will be a "house" for bacteria keeping your water healthy..Hope this helps..

how did you mount your filter? I use 27 gallon black plastic totes from home depot. how do you attach the filter system and have the lid on. I was thinking of getting a small 150 GPH pump and running a line up and bend it back down blowing through a filter.

I have placed the bucket with the lavastones above the reservoir, using a pump to fill it up halfways, leaving the lava rock submerged, and with a hole that leads water back in to the reservoir. Works like a charm!
All the best

Remove the air stones. In my opinion, when using blumats they do not help and they cause problems.

The dripping action into the medium will provide enough dissolved oxygen. It's not like (R)DWC where the plants are actually underwater.

Excess dissolved oxygen in the drip lines will increase the occurrence of bubbles forming in the lines, which is not conducive to flawless operation.

If you need to keep the nutrients mixed in the reservoir, a pump is a better option.
