im noticing a kinda moldy fungal errr floating algae something growth in my kno3 and phosphate mix.... are you guys experiencing the same ? how do you remove or prevent this ? i searched the net a lil bit and ran thru adding muriatic acid i think to the solution to prevent this ? i think this is imp. because ive also read that the potency of the mix deteriorates due to the growing bacteria(?) inside the mix
 
Not sure why.....did you use RO or distilled water to make up the solution?

Ive only really heard of this happening for CSM+B and as far as i know its the iron in the mix that causes this to happen (but dont quote me on this im not 100% sure)
 
hmmm i didnt' use RO water just plain tap water..... must be the reason why :( but i still got it with the bottle of fleet enema
