ROOT ROT:
The roots were covered in slime when I looked this morning. It happened overnight, because I check my roots daily. Here is what I did: I removed the res. lid, took the plants to the kitchen and thoroughly sprayed the roots down, removing the disgusting, stinky, offensive, hatred-inspiring, trump-like debris from the roots. I removed the reservoir and thoroughly cleaned with H2O2; I scrubbed the air stones in H2O2 as well. Put everything back together, prepared pH'd water with grapefruit seed extract and nothing else and poured into reservoir.
Oh yeah: and I ordered another Active Aqua 1/10 hp chiller.
Now I have to go to _ucking work; my day is starting off terrible!!!!! ;-{
