It is exactly what you called it. "Slime". You should clean the filter media before this happens. Most successfull keepers of animals (pets) attend to the cleanliness of their charges/pets quarters and conditions very regularly and meticulously. My advice is to strip down and scrub the filter clean, and replace most of the media. Reserve some of the old media keep it wet and rinse it gently. This rinsed "old" media will innocculate the new clean media with the necessary bacteria to cycle the filter. Then service the filter regularly, keep an eye on the water quality in future and replace at least 50% of the water every week.

How did my fish tank magically clean itself?
I suggest that you learn more about your fish in your aquarium. One of your fish might be a bottom sucker which means that they eat all of the dirt on the side or bottom of your tank. If one of your fish are bottom suckers, that's probably the reason why your aquarium is clean. If none of your fish are bottom suckers, than somebody must be secretly cleaning your tank for you.

What is a balanced aquarium?
A balanced aquarium in an aquarium that contains a full ecosystem. In a balanced aquarium fish will produce waste. This waste will be decomposed by snails, bottom feeders and bacteria, generally into ammonia. The ammonia is converted by two different strains of bacteria into nitrite then nitrate. Nitrate is then consumed by the plants in the tank. If all of the waste can be converted into nitrate, and all of the nitrate can be consumed by the plant matter in the tank, the tank is in balance. The balanced aquarium could be taken one step further to have the fish in the tank consume only the plant matter that grows in the tank. This will generally require a large size tank for the number of fish present, because it takes a large number of plants to flourish and also be consumed.
