Because you’re dirty, I suggest you fill drain and clean everything with bleach.
& Than NEVER USE ORGANICS IN HYDROPONICS
Potatonet
My theory as someone who has manufactured liquid and dry fertilizer for 20 years:
Master blend switched their source of calcium nitrate and or mono potassium phosphate, what you are seeing is anti caking ingredients used in the manufacturing of dry fertilizer to prevent clumping in the bag
Generally when you purchase liquid fertilizer the material has been filtered out so you are left with silt free, wax free fertilizer. Though this cleanliness comes at the cost of having weaker fertilizer and having to purchase liquid fertilizer repeatedly.
Making liquids at home is possible, and you can easily filter the insoluble/silicon dioxide/wax/(insert anticaking agent here) with a coffee filter if you are so inclined to prepare your own liquid fertilizer.
Many people will complain about clean fertilizer, when you put calcium and phosphate and or sulphate into the same vessel, eventually at higher EC of 2.2 you will see residual settlement on the bottom of the reservoir from the formation of insoluble material usually forming because of excess calcium/phosphate/and or sulphate.

Anything else besides the masterblend?
Light leaks?
