Ok, I was draining my loop to try a different config but I then noticed some green stuff growing in the tubes. Bad sign, I know..

I'm sitting there thinking how this could happen. I used Hydrex additive from Swiftech and I made sure to mix it right. I have no idea how this happened, can anyone give any advice? Also I would like advice on how to clean it.
Second question is I've noticed my tubes getting cloudier, they now have a white film on the inside.

Is there anyway to clear those up? I've read that some people advocate using vinegar, but then some people also said that wasn't a good idea. Is there a definitive way to clean it? Any input is greatly appreciated.
