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
 
Are you carbon dosing?
 
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

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.
