ok, new problem, hope someone can figure it out. Recently I have been finding thick gobs of brownish jelly-like stuff, not the normal mulm, this is jelly like consistency. It is in my intakes and clogs them up, it is under the large sponges in my Aqua-Clear70's filters, which makes them rise and the flow low. I first noticed it after I added a hydra-sponge filter, but I have used them before and never saw this . I had to cut a small circle hole in the sponges to get better flow, but today when cleaning the filter, there was about 2'' of this jelly-like stuff under the sponge and completely covering the grey sponge lift which has small cut-out squares but were completely clogged. :wb: This filter was cleaned 2 weeks ago due to same problem and it is happeing in both AC's.
It's making me nuts , having to clean the filters so often because of low flow.
I don't think this is normal .
Never saw this before , what could it be ? It's clogging everything in my filters! The net bags for holding bio-matrix are covered and difficult to clean the jelly stuff off. :wb: it sticks to the sponges and difficult to remove .:dk:
Could too much Prime cause this? I don't measure, just splash some in when doing wc with python. Food and fish are same,nothing new or different.
The normal mulm I have had in past has been brown, but not jelly-like.
