hose funk blown all over my tank

[aIIan]

I decided to remove one of my MJ900s to see if I would be happy with the reduced flow. I wasn't and after an hour or so I put it back in.

 

I didn't realize at the time but the inside of the hose was loaded with a layer of slimy funk. As soon as I hit the switch said funk showered into the tank.

 

I got some of it out with my handy dip net and the filters pulled out quite a bit as well but of course there's still quite a bit in there floating around and stuck to the rocks.

 

First off WTF was that sh!t & second should I worry about anything? Being that it was in the hose all along I doubt it's murderous but one can never be too cautious.

"Hose Funk" now in my vocabulary.

Likely just algae or something. It's fine to be in your tank. It will settle and break down/get eaten eventually.

leave it alone. I doubt it is harmful. Just some hose funk.
