Sounds like you have already diagnosed the problem failing to act prometly may result in death of plants...
I would imagine you have already corrected the bad odour/froth in the reserva tank ?
If you are sure to be sure about Mg def, get ya skinny arse down to your local hydro shop and get some Mg nutrient.... failing that epsom salts may work !

No thats the main problem ive got atm cant figure it out clean tank fresh nutes done yesterday ph is 5.5 dont no wat happened i didnt ad my cyco zme to the tank this time culd it be this? And the magnesium deffiency i thought could be rectified by using dutch master liquid light which i already am using catains 0.29% magnesium.
why do you need a nutes tank? surely your not recirculating the run off...mix daily what you require daily and hand water your plant at the beginning of the light period.test the run off for EC strength if higher lower the EC of your daily feed.if lower increase it,also the pH of your nutes is a little low for coco based media, aim for around 6.2-6.4 this should deal with the Mg lockout

So the grotek bud fuel makes the reserva smell bad whilst foaming it up ?
Bud fuel is organic, some organic nutrients go off with age & smell really bad like rottern eggs... some others just smell bad.

For your magnesium def I would use epsom salts are get CaMg+ and add that to the res. Also for foaming why not add peroxide?

I was thinking of using peroxide just want some info amd advice before i start usimg dnt want to help my girls epsom salts worked a treat for the magnesium deffiency but my moby has a sulfur problem and doesnt seem to be going away with epsom salt foliar spray.
Add 10ml peroxide per gallon and if the Epsom salts doesn't work foliage than add it to the res or soil

Peroxide is an unstable solution which is h2o2 when it comes in contact with water. It will break down and start to sterilize and clean and break down old matter (bacteria). Keeps roots clean and white also.
