Maybe your tank could use a rinse out, look at filter see what it says, between tank and outside breath hole, should be a plastic looking cyl, with the hose going in and out each end, common, $100+

Get rid of the filter. You don't need it. Change the hoses as many as you can get to. Use high quality sanitation hoses. Now use good old fashioned aquachem every time you empty the tank. No high tech or environmentally friendly stuff. Aqua chem contains formaldehyde and that gets the job done. And you can buy it at any Walmart.
