Sooo here's for info
System: drain to waste, top fed so its just automated watering really
Res size: 225L
Airflow: 4 stones 9L/min (surface is constantly move)
Nutrients: Flora trio (micro is the hard water kind) EC was 1.2
Water supply: tap water, quite hard, contains chlorine and starting pH of 7
Ph agent: phosphoric acid 59%
Now 3 days in pH is up at 9 there's a white ring around the water surface, smells funky.
Now I'm 99% sure this problem is cos of the hard water I haven't been using h2o2 but will. Nor have I be leaving the water to sit to remove the chlorine. Reservoir is in the dark though and temp doesn't usually exceed 18 Celsius. Am mixing nutrients correctly I think. (1 at a time into a full res untill EC is stable them I add the next)
