So I assume that this is bacterial growth, but I also know it's not good to assume. Periodically I have to rinse my filter of the stuff because it clogs them. Any advise is welcome.

Hey bud
Im still a Noob at all this SW stuff, but from what ive seen on the web it may be black algae? and i believe you should probably clean it all off and away rid off, as it isnt good for the tank, i got dark green to black cr@p in my filter too that i clean every so often but so far none in the tank other than Diatoms

Never seen such a concentration of black stuff in filter media before, does the rest of the reef seem okay?
