I set up my new 75 gal tank about a month ago. It cycled pretty quickly (without ever developing any noticeable ammonia levels) since I used some of the water from my old tank. Only after couple days the tank was up and running I noticed a white film covering the water's surface. I thought it was just a temporary thing so I didn't pay much attention to it. It has been 4 weeks now and the film re-appears every time after I try to scoop it from the water's surface. Like I said earlier, it has whitish color with oily appearance (kind of like if you spilled an oil into the water, but white). Anybody knows what it is and how to get rid of it?
Water condition:
PH - 7.6, temp - 77/79F, water hardness - 9 dGH (6dKH).
Set up: 404 Fluval canister filter; and 1140 Penguin powerhead connected via 1" tube to one plate from my old undegravel filter (plate covers approx 30% of tank's floor).
I don't know if this is related (probably not), but my newly purchased australian rainbowfish started developing ICK.
Suggestions anyone?
