Glad to hear you were able to clear it up. But bacteria, fungi, and pathogens do have a way of recurring, so keep an eye out for any signs of it coming back. Also I haven't dabbled with them yet (though plan to), but if you wanted to you could introduce/inoculate your hydro system with beneficial microbes as well. Beneficial microbes basically feed on pathogens, keeping their numbers down, and thus from breading out of control. But any sanitizing treatments like H2O2, or UV light will kill beneficial microbes just as easy as pathogens (bad microbes). If your interested I could post a list of what to look for in a good quality beneficial microbe product for future reference. I have it on my computer in PDF, and would post it now but will take me a few minutes to find it because I forget the title of the PDF.
