ya sounds like a gunked up filter.
what ever you do dont rinse or wash with tap water !
it will kill the good bacteria you have on it
when you do a water change rinse your filter in it. then add new ( dechlorinated water, this is most important )
and if your cycling with fish are you testing water daily ?
