It kinda looks like broken bits of cellophane or such, waving around as it circulates throughout the tank, and once it goes through the MP10s it gets shredded and eventually disappears

I have numerous lengths of food-grade vinyl hose in the return section of my sump that develop a slimy feel to them, but doesn't this happen to everyone ?

Anyone else have this happen ?
Any suggestions ?
I have a lime green Caulastrea Furcata coral that sometimes makes a clear thin slime that the power-heads blow around; this happens after hermits climb over it, of if I bump it with my hand in the tank....

It's a possibility
