Sounds like algae spots. Nothing to worry about.

it happens, perfect spot for algae growth, plus it never gets cleaned. You can't see through any of my filter tubs any more. No biggie

 

[ronin_man]

happens with both my rena xp filters
not a big deal

It is the same on the return lines of my w/d filters. I think it is the slimy gunk that builds up on the inside of filters,pumps ect. If it bothers you a gun cleaning rod and brush dedicated to cleaning the tubes will work just make sure there is no oil on it.
