So today I realized that I have "stuff" in my filter hoses. I took a picture of it. Kind of looks like flakes of food. There was a ton of it. I ran the faucet while squeezing the hoses and a lot came out. Anyone have any info?

The stuff in your pipes is a mixture of fish poo and excess food. If I were you I would use a pipe cleaner and give them a good clean.

If left it can have an impact on your water chemistry. Which is not good for the fish.
