I just got my fairly new 20gal nano setup (~1.5 month old) and its been running with out any problmes for the most part. The only thing I have been noticing is that there is a wierd film that floats ontop of the waters surface. When I blow on the film to break it up, it breaks into little plates and still floats. For right now, I made a simple surface skimmer connected to my filter to get rid of it which is working fairly well. The problem with this is that the film builds up on the backend of my filter. My water changes have been fairly frequent aswell. Is this build up protien or just something else.
I have noticed this problem for a little while now. When i first notcied it, my tank inhabitants were 3
blue legged crabs and a damsel. Right now I have a tomato clown, blue damsel, yellow damsel, and a chromis.
I have about ~5-6 of live rock and a crushed shell bed. I also have a small bunch of caulerpa.
Also a second question while we are on the topic of protien skimming...which of these protien skimmers are good.
*Taam Rio nano
*Current
fission nano skimmer
*Aqua C Remora (I have heard good things about it, but the question is will it fit, my tank is 12.5'' high)
Sorry If that was a little long winded, just wanted to get everything out on the table.
Thanks in advanced everyone!
