I use 2 44 gal food grade brute cans on wheels, one for RO water and 1 for mixing saltwater. these cans both sit in out utility room and get zero light unless someone is in the room and turns on the light which is almost never.
I always top off my mixing container and add the appropriate ammount of salt whenever I take water out.
the mixing container has a 400 GPH powerhead hung on the side with a air tube to inject air into the output stream and a lifter tube going all the way to the bottom so that water is taken from the bottom (and salt) and it is brought back to the top in an attempt to get all of the water to constantly circulate 24/7
it has come to my attention that both cans have a slimy coat growing on the inside walls.
what is this slime and is it harmful? is there anything I can do to avoid this?
