weird film on surface
Hey all,
I am having a bit of an issue keeping my tank clean.. I have a weird film on the top of the tank. The film is red in color. I also have red algae on some of the rock I currently have a 40 gallon tank with two clowns, two benggai cardinals, an orange diamond goby and a few blue legged hermit crabs. currently for cleaning I have an eheim easy 60 pro and I do perform regular water changes. Any ideas what this film might be, and how to remedy that and the red algae? Thanks! |
What are you running for water circulation?
|
I have a Koralia power head.. I can't remember the output though.

Biggest problem is not enough flow and no surface skimming due to the fact you are using a canister filter. With canisters you will not have the surface skim that is required of a SW system.
|
If you dont have enough circulation or filtration i would think that a film would build up on the surface. You can get a surface skimmer that hooks up to your canister filter. They work pretty good

I had that issue with a 20g I ran. I added a small AC with surface skimmer attachment. Worked like a charm. |
