Default Slime buildup

Hey i have a DWC setup and my problem is that i have this what looks like a slime scum buildup that only forms underwater on the rubber air lines and the black soft rubber silicon type of poly pipe that it connected to the pumps underwater and on the power cable on the pumps as well, its weird cos it does not form on the bottom or sides of the tubs at all, or on the pumps that are underwater, but only on rubber or soft plastic type surfaces, the water is crystal clear. Im using Fairform Green Dream nutes which are chemical and not organic, i havnt added anything into the water besides ph down when it needs it and i use phosphoric acid for that, anyways does anyone have a clue what it is???

some of it is getting onto the roots a bit i think
The slime appears to be a light brown orange color when wipes off with a paper towel
