I just put a sump together for my tank and I have a white slime growing in the return hose. Not growing in the tank any yet what is causing this? It's a clear hose maybe my lights? Is it bad or just ugly?

Probably bacteria. That‘s normal.I just put a sump together for my tank and I have a white slime growing in the return hose. Not growing in the tank any yet what is causing this? It's a clear hose maybe my lights? Is it bad or just ugly?
If possible, replace the clear tubing with black (or another color) so the light doesn't promote growth... It will clog with algae pretty quickly otherwise.I just put a sump together for my tank and I have a white slime growing in the return hose. Not growing in the tank any yet what is causing this?
