Default Return tubing

Hey gang, I have noticed my return tubing from the sump pump is getting a little (for lack of a better term) gooky inside of it. Reminds me of when I had a canister filter and would have to periodically clean out the tubes. Is this normal for a wet/dry? I am relatively new to wet/dry operation, maybe 4 mos. If you have to clean them out what is the best and easiest way to do it?

It is normal..caused by algea..If you want to get away from cleaning,,wrap with some black tape,to shut out the light that is fueling the growth>
