If your skimmer pulls a lot of gunk out but you still have high nitrate and or phosphate or lots of problem algae/slime it might be a good skimmer but too small for your bioload.

well i got this oil slick crap on the top of my water and even though it keeps going down the overflow it still sticks around. I was thinking maybe the skimmer wasnt pulling enough crap out of the water.

Try aiming a powerhead towards the top create a rippletowards your overflow I always keep lots f surface movement for that reason

I had the same issue on my 225. Even with a pair of 6100s aimed slighlty towards the top there were 2 corners that always stayed a safe haven for the oil slick.
