Hi all.
A couple weeks ago I began adding Marine Snow for my corals. A short time after that I started to notice a brown slick on the surface of the water. The water remains clear. I have sinced switched to DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton because it is reportedly a better product. There is still a slight amount of scum on the surface. Any connection here between these two products and what I am finding? I am very careful about overfeeding.
I have a 30g and am using a remora skimmer with the pre-skimmer box. (This box is supposed to only allow water from the surface into the skimmer but it doesn't seem to do that at all.) I have been removing the scum by dipping a cup into the tank.
2 clowns
1 long nose hawkfish
1 gramma
leather coral, polyps/buttons
What does everyone think?
