[APD] Cleaning filter tubes for canister?

["Walter Igharas" <walterigharas at hotmail_com>]

Hi,

I am new to using cannister filters.

I have noticed that my filter tubes have a lot gunk in them and I think it 
contributing to my cloudy water. I use this filter as a skimmer. Every so 
often the cannister get some air in it and does a 'hiccup' and pushes some 
of the gunk in the output tube into the aquarium and produces a white haze. 
Sometimes some of the gunk gets stuck in the bar spray.

Question: Should I clean out the tubing on both the input and output tubes?
Also what is that gunk in the tubes?  Also how often should I clean out the 
tubes?

Thanks

Walter
