White build up on co2 reactor-diffuser

[somefinnfishy]

Looks like fungus what is it?
Bought a nutrafin co2 kit and added a extra 2 bottle inline.Its been bubbleing for 4 days.
Its going into my central 4x29g sump setup
It slowly go's through all 4 tanks before it hits the over flow sump and bio wheels.
My test kits are fried and will get new ones and post my readings.

Is this more a clearish jellylike stuff? I get this in my reactor with the DIY CO2. It's messy if you let it go too long but from the reading I have done here and elsewhere it is a harmless bacterial colony.

Ok sounds like what I got growing.
the fish are very stressed ph all over the place.My blue rams lost one the other has small ich prob now.The bolivions lost all color but the congos still look ok even extra frisky.
I think I'm more stressed han the fish though

I dont know what kind of bacteria is on a reactor, but my tubing gets white stuff inside. this is aenerobic bacteria. there is only corbon dioxide to consume, so aenerobic bacteria grows.

Yeah, just clean it up regularly....it won't hurt anything....just looks ugly.
