If I understood the question properly, he is referring to a fluffy bacterial 
growth that occurs inside the reactor, not the generator.  I get this growth 
too, but I don't know if there is a way to prevent it.  One possiblity that 
might have an effect is to add a bubble counter in-line between the generator 
and the reactor.  I tried this, but the bubble counter leaked, so I removed it. 
 That's the best I can do on this question.
