Hey there
Ever since I orignally set up my tank I've had a sort of white film floating around the top of the tank...it almost looks like an oil slick only not rainbow-hued. Doesn't seem to bother anyone but I don't like the look of it and am concerned that it could someone block the aeration of the water (dunno how, just a general concern).
At first I thought it was phosphate (someone mentioned something like this in another, unrelated post) which I added indirectly through my plant fert - but have done several largish water changes since the last add and it's still there.
Water params are normal -
0 ppm Amon.
0 ppm Nitrate
60 on the hardness test (don't have the instruction booklet w/ me)
temp - about 74F
fish: 2 guppies, 2 endlers, 2 amano shrimp
Any thoughts or advice on how to get rid of it, or even if I should be concerned at all would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
