How much agt-50 are you using? Do you have a recirc valve to your tank or a bubbler?

Yeah I got a sump pump recirculating it all and only 250ml to 1000 litres
You referring to Hydroponic Research?

They just released this which could help with the biofilm buildup.

Will this kill any goodness in my tank?
I’m thinking the sump pump might be making the tank heat up too much 
Keeping you water cool is definitely an easy way to prevent alot of issues. Can you switch out for like a leader pump?
My tanks draining in a day I might get rid of the pump all together honestly dude it’s driving me mental thank god for the zl6 I can’t go to my spot all the time over this side it’s not legal bloody things keep blocking up every 3 tanks I’m going insane next time it’s dosertron
Shine is pretty dirty. Try running without it.

I’d switch over to a seaflo pump with a pre filter on the pickup, as well as a couple y strainers on the output. Either that or knock bag your organic nutrients quite a bit
Side note: are you running the full aroya platform, or just a zl6 and t12?

Sumps put off alot of heat try a pond pump for your mixing pump.

A more natural approach is feeding lacto bacillus as a flush every so often, it will help with build up on the inside of ur pipes, and the lacto wont hurt ur plants
maybe put your pump on a little stand so its not quite drawing out the bottom of the res?
King you should try watermax in your rez. You should also look into cutting out that agt50 in your res that organic stuff will breed that biofilm pretty quick .
