What can I do to prevent brown sludge forming in my reservoir? There is a hole on top on top where light is getting in (your design) and I am aerating my reservoir to circulate the nutrient solution.
Should I be using a water pump instead to circulate the nutrients to keep them mixed? Would adding a UV light prevent this from happening? Should I be adding some Hydrogen Peroxide to my water tank and if so, how much?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi Tom, Simply just pot the plants up into the inert substrate and you will be fine…… if you really wanted to remove the existing soil you can do this with warm water and carefully but it will shock the plant/s…..it is easier simply to just pot up….. take a look at the potting up guide on the home page.
This is what my water tank looks like on the inside. I have been told to add 28% hydrogen peroxide 1 mil per 4 liters to prevent this sludge from building up.

PS, I would call you but I am in Canada so 6 hours different and long distance.
Hi Peter, if you would kindly email me your number I will give you a call to remedy the issue you are encountering.
