Have never seen this before. I am getting a slime on these outputs and it comes back daily.

Bump.. Just cleaned another glob of snot off of the outlets. I checked on my algae scrubber and it was coated with the slimy snot like substance also

Check out this thread...I also linked 3 more threads with similar issues....looks bacterial in nature....
Causes can be air fresheners, hand soap, carbon dosing, etc

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/white-fuzz-what-is-it.265601/
There was no definitive answer in that thread. Most were speculations with anecdotal remedies. However, a refresher on keeping chemicals away from the tank is a nice tip. That said, this looks more like a bacterial issue than a white fuzz or diatom issue. More than likely the OP of that thread still has the issue unless they added GFO to remove silicates and increase clean up crew following a good manual cleaning. None the less, this type of bacterial issue can be remedied with MB7, stability, and/or stop carbon dosing.

I am dosing no pox.. It might have started shortly after I started nopox on auto doser instead of manual. I will look at that.
