How do you keep your filter tubes from clogging up with snail slime? I have a 
small snail tank with a powerhead pulling water through a UGF and the tubes and 
impeller need regular cleaning or they clog. Because of the tank/filter design 
this is a real pain and I would like to find a way to reduce all the slimy gunk.

Thanks,
Paul
