First time grower here....
Using a 55 gallon garbage can(new and cleaned of course), water pump and tank heater, all new and recommended by another grower friend.
My question is, I get a slimy feeling to the insides of the res and on the pump and heater.. I empty it and clean it out well , with a light mix of fresh water and Hydrogen peroxide(then flush multiple times) before adding water back in and getting the Ph to 6ish.. what is the slime and is it bad?
This AM I noticed a nasty smell coming from the tank also... It has plenty of circulation.. I don't get it?
Any ideas folks?
Thanks in advance?
