Hi

I have noticed that wihen I run my nutrafin co2 I get a build up of white slime around were the bubbles come out is there anything I can add to the mix to stop this?

Im using just yeast and sugar at the moment.

The white slime is most likely your yeast mix escaping. Best thing to do is make a little less mix next time so that it can't escape. You'll probably need to give your tubing a clean out and your nutrafin ladder.
 
Th white fluff is perfectly natural and wont do any harm, however it is unsightly. If you want to stop it getting into the tank, add a bubble counter between the yeast chamber and the ladder/diffuser. That way the white fluff grows in that and not in the tank :)
