Brown crud in hydro

After 5 days away from home, this is what I found. Brownish matter clinging to probes and bottom of reservoir tank. Flowed in the current on the probe. It’s not slimy. Any ideas?

If its not smiley it's most likely a nutrient/mineral buildup. I use regular tap water and get that with general hydroponics. It would usually be white but the nutrients stain the buildup brown. Happy Growing

If temps are in check and now slime or smell then it’s just nutrient build up. If it smells really bad then you got root rot starting up.
