i cleaned my external filter the other day, but i noticed the output was very low and even replaced the impeller for it. when i opened up my filter today, there was so gooey stuff in there, and there was more of it on my inlet valve. so i then took apart the pipes. there was so much of this slim stuff, its freaken gross!

i never cleaned those pipes (had for almost 2 years) but regularly cleaned my filter. never though that stuff would clog everything up.

anyone else have had this stuff before?

Best to clean the pipes/tubes every couple of months. Doesn't take long for the cack to build up.
