It is easier and cleaner to take them off to clean. Otherwise you're going to blow all of the gunk into the tank.
 
I have the same thing happening with mine. I have found about every couple of months I remove the clips and tubes to clean out. The easyest way I have found is to use a toothbrush. Just push it in all the way in tube and use water pressure from sink sprayer or water hose to push the toothbrush through the tube. It works great and does'nt take much time at all.
