Hey, thanks again for all of your help. So, I'm sure it's not too much nutes, they may even be a little low, as for hydroton, I give this a good flushing every week along with some floaclean as a salt leaching agent. And as for the metal peices, they are just those mesh screens you see in hoses, 3 for a $1.50 at the store. As they were made for water usage I don't believe they are leaking into the water and the problem started before they were put in.

I am at a new lead and would love your input. So the first time it was off, I think it was the ph meter uncalibrated. Now I have 2 that are calibrated and got problems when adding Tarantula, Pirahna, and Hygrozyme. I just remembered that I had some TEA COMPOST and FLORALICIOUS, both organics, in my reservoir. Could the Hygrozyme be reacting to the organics and causing the ph to rise by breaking them down?
