thank you weezard for chiming in. I don't know what "tron dust" is. I'll look into it after work. I did however wash the hydroton. I didn't use any solution, just rinsed it out with a garden hose until the water wasn't reddish anymore. I spray painted the outside of the buckets and then lcovered it in duct tape. I like the black bag idea. It'd be easy to just pull the bag back around it after checking everything.

DWC Bucket Concerns ok thanks for reading thus far. i recently changed the water in my DWC bucket and noticed alot of "grime" on the inside walls. i think they r nutrients that kinda "settle" on the walls. sometimes i stickl my hand in their and swish it around to get them nutes flowin. is this normal? good? bad? 1 more question: How bad is algea when it comes to roots? i have a half inch aquarium tube that i use as a level indicator and i use it to inject nutes into the bucket, anyway, this tube is clear and Rating: 5
