These are excellent tips on bug prevention.
Unfortunately, things happen and reservoirs can become contaminated no matter how hard we try. Here is a quick summary of info I found online regarding the type of contamination I got due to fruit flies.
———-
When a clear snot forms on roots in hydroponic solution, and the normal course of treatment for root disease doesn't work, you probably have something called brown slime algae.
This slime actually isn't algae at all, but a cyanobacteria. It loves oxygen and doesn't need light to grow.
It starts out subtle like a clear coating of mucus on the roots with no odor. Plants often still appear healthy for a while, but all root production stops. In a very short time it will cover the entire root base and become thicker and sometimes turns yellow.
Eventually it strangles the roots which causes Pythium to set in, and at that point turns brown and finally has an odor.

Good Luck
