Technical Issue My Reservoir Tank gets cloudy all the time (Hydroponics)

[Cringer]

Hello, this is my Water after 2 Day's its Cloudy again i don't know why it's so sad i have no idea why that's happening can you Help me please...

I have Hydroponics Reservoir filled with RO water and a Pump for Movement in the Water i have added Cal/Mag after that's Base nutes and at last PH the Water to 5.8. This time i add Pool Shock because my water failure the last weeks also but the Pool Shock not Help this morning my Water getting Cloudy again Temps 18 Celsius so Perfekt Range normally PH is Perfekt what's going wrong here??

Add some H2O2 to the mix when you make it. See that you can get a 2% H2O2 into the solution and let the pump circulate for 24 hours before you change the pH. If it's bacterial it will be dead after circulating for that amount of time. If it's not bacterial then it's chemical and you'll have to check the products you are adding.

When i add silica to my mix the water gets cloudy like that.. What all are you adding to the rez?

I try H2O2 the last weeks it's fail all the time... That's why i bought Pool Shock!

A little cloudiness in my reservoirs have never bothered me since my plants are never affected by the clarity of the water.

Silica must be added to the water that is <100 PPM or less 30 minutes before you add the next nutrients. What your seeing is it is binding to the calcium that is in the water making it cloudy. It is also locking up the silicca, calcium, and Mg making all of them not available to the plant.

The order in which you add nutrients for hydroponics is critical to the availability of all ions.
I use GreenLeaf MegaCrop two part and this is my mixing order.

Silica
Part A
Mg
part B
gypsum
Kelp, Humic Acid, Yucca and any other bennies

Check with the vendor of your inputs order can be different for other lines.

I use MC 2 part as well and that's exactly how I do it the silica is added first and I am using RO only <15ppm

Think I read something the other day that you said when using pure RO to add gypsum and Epsom first to bring up to ~50ppm then add the silica... TBH I thought I had this mixing order all figured out but lately I've been lost and really thinking MY issue is using pure RO BUT this is not my thread so I am not trying to hyjack it

 

[DoobieGrows]

The best way I found to mix the silica with ro water is to first add 1 milliliter of PH up then mix wait 30 minutes then Mix silica wait 30 more minutes then Cal/Mag then base nutrients..

Now if I could listen to my own advice and stop overthinking shit I would probably be better off lol

After over a week my Reservoir is Cristal Clear without change the water. Pool Shock Rocks!

Pool shock.may have cleared up the water but it is absolutely bad for plants! It greatly increases free chlorine levels!
