Black Stuff Growing On Tubing?

[bladefish]

I have a new tank set up about 2 weeks it's clearing up nicely from cycling but I noticed there's some kind of black like slimy stuff growing on the oxygen tubing? There are no fish in the tank yet so no food or anything

Sounds like algea. Turn your lights off in the tank, you dont need them for cycling.

Its probably all over the heater suckers too, its quite normal to see this stuff in a cycling tank, god knows what it is but it goes away eventually.
