I am struggling with root rot in both my 20 gal reservoirs. Fixed light leaks 6 days ago (day 16) I included hydroguard in every reservoirs change and my water temps are pretty stable at 67-69 degrees f. I have 2 large air stones per 10gal water on highest setting. Any ideas?

Hey there CannaBodian, yeah you can increase the hydroguard to full strength and you can even clip off the bottom 20% of the problem roots - that's called root pruning. You dont want root rot getting out of control. Hope this helps ! šŸš€

Consider the Material & Thickness of the Reservoir Tub ā€“ Darker and thicker material will let less light through to the reservoir. Consider Reflectivity ā€“ Pale colors tend to reflect back more light and heat, but you can always increase the reflectivity later by covering the lid with a reflective material! Check Thoroughly for Light Leaks! You may need to get down low and look up to see them! Use Opaque Tape to Cover Any Light Leaks ā€“ Electrical tape and reflective tape are great options for covering up places where light is getting through. Use Dark (Light-Proof) Tubing ā€“ Another way to protect the water from light exposure Light-Proof Your Net Pots. Neoprene net pot inserts are great to fill in the net pot instead of using clay pebbles, and wonā€™t let any light get through. Other great options include net pot covers.
