Default Nutrafin CO2 Bubble Counter/Diffuser - White Fluff

I am using the Nutrafin Bubble Counter/Diffuser in conjuction with a
DIY CO2 generation system. Current bubble rate is about 35-40 bpm. A
white fluffy/stringy substance keeps forming beginning at the outlet
from the CO2 tubing and eventually spreads throughout the entire
counter/diffuser. I have to clean the counter/diffuser about once per
week as it looks very unsightly.

1) Does anyone know what this substance is?
2) I have not added fish to my tank yet (still fishless cycling) but
is this substance harmful to fish?
3) Is there anyway to stop this substance from coming back each time I
clean the diffuser/counter?

Any information/advice is greatly appreciated.
