subculture B over populating reservoir or something else?

Hey everyone! I recently decided to start using subculture B in my hydro garden. I battled the rot for a few weeks with h202, a uv sterilizer and some elbow grease. Afterwards I decided to inoculate my buckets with some bennies. I figured that since I stopped using h202 right before I used the subculture the bennies would thrive in the growing media and root zone but would die off from the uv sterilizer in the rez. Well I think I may have used a bit too much or, I have another infection. My airstones are just caked in a light brown gelatin like organism but my rez water doesn't smell and my roots are white as ever. Can someone tell me what it would look like if the organisms in subculture were too prevalent in my system? 8 don't think it's pythium again as my roots look good and my rez doesn't stink but there sure is a lot of jello around anywhere super oxygenated.

Sounds like my airstones after a few batches of AACT.

Think i read it's a biofilm of bennies growing on the stone. Not bad except for plugging up the stone.

I change my $2 stones when they get like that:)

It is exactly the subculture b.

I stopped using it and went with orca liquid alone.

Just cleanup the airstones and change nutes. It will grow a slime on the roots, rinse so oxygen can get to the roots.
