It's normal
Hey Y'all, The return pipe from my sump was clear. Lately it has turned white and when I restart the pump after a wc, white flaky stuff is blown into the tank. Any idea what it is and how to get rid of it. Thanks

My tubes did that about 6 months ago, white sheets of gunk broke loose and floated around the tank for a couple hours.
Did not hurt anything, filter picked it up and it was gone.
Thanks, y'all are honorary Bubbas. ( That's a good thing)
Here's how I clean mine. It's a regular filter intake brush taped to the end of a nylon electrical fish tape. I disconnect my tubing occasionally and push this through the tubes. Cleans all the gunk out quick and easy. Then flush with water. 419201720539.jpg

I like this idea, Ryan, where did you get the electrical fish ?
Musical instrument stores sell trombone slide cleaning brushes. Very similar brush on both ends of a 3-4 foot nylon coated steel cable.

Some of my growing discus eats this bacterial / mould stuff when it comes out of my canister outtake. I tend to shut off filters on 30-40 min. Timer on every feeding , so it gets released in my tank regularly after the filter restarts . I've never noticed any I'll effects on my discus eating it , so far.
