what is the best way to cure root rot in a DWC bubbler, SM-90 + H202 or just plain aquashield or something else?

Light proofing, cooler temps, and more aeration.. The best way to stop it...

I did all that + added aquashield to my mix, still working on getting more air stones but I already have a bendable one in each 5 gal bucket. The plant that has root rot is still very small, her tap root rotted off but she does not seem affected by the root damage. She is growing more roots.

Was never able to cure it once it sets in myself but managed to either stave it off or get along with h2o2, lo res temps, and hygrozyme or other beneficial bacteria- see the Heisenberg tea sticky

Just need aquashield and dechlorinator if you use tap water. Pet store has tap water conditioner.
