If you would like a nice spray bar, I use these and LOVE them:

Eheim Water System Installation Sets

I really can't help with the 'white' stuff. I know you will get algae buildup within the filter expecially within the tubing, but that is normally a brownish color.

Did it disolve in water? Mineral buildup?

Any way, opening up the filter and rinsing out all the media should take care of that.

Someone else is having a similar problem. Might check out their thread.

Fishless Cycle Stall

Hmm, thanks for that link. I think maybe it is the same as the filter in question was only hooked up a month ago and so is currently cycling (I've been running my already cycled HOB the whole time though so no need to worry about having a cycle in the tank). It doesn't dissolve in the water or at least not as far as I can tell.

As for spraybars, I've looked into the Eheim ones but I want to go with a DIY. I have the piece of PVC but I need to drill holes, get a plug for the end and hook it up.
