something is growing near my Co2..

[Khlash]

Ive got this white very billowy substance that keeps reforming every few days around the output of my Co2 tube which is coming from two two liter yeast bottles. Any idea what this is and how I can prevent it...it gets so think it stops up my little bubble ladder diffuser.

Not sure, could be a fungus of some kind. Try dipping in bleach and then clean it well with just water.

Sometimes that just happens with the Co2 mixes that use sugar and yeast. It's nothing to be concerned about and is quite common. You can just remove it, net it up, whatever. It's some sort of bacterial goopy thing. The only problem it can really cause is that it can block the Co2 diffusor. A gas separator can fix the problem if it persists.
