Opened filter for first time in a week. It is covered in aqua "stuff". Consistency of wet paint, completely covered. Linking pictures because I'm not sure you'd believe me otherwise.

Here are your pictures. They are almost certainly showing some form of copper, possibly copper carbonate -- but I've never seen filters look like that before. I did a little checking, and am wondering if it's copper borate -- the color is awfully blue for copper carbonate,but seems right for copper borate:
