Hello everyone,
I have noticed recently a film on the water in my tank. It looks almost like petrol on water, but it obviously isn't!
I did have some floating water lettuce and at first I thought perhaps these plants were causing this film so I removed them and did a 50% water change. By the next day, the film had returned.
My tank in 60 litres, with a Fluval U2 filter and also a Hagen mini elite filter to help with water movement in the tank. In the tank I currently have an Amazon sword, Crypt, Cabomba and Hydrophila. The water itself is crystal clear, and I have a very small amount of algae.
Does anyone know what the film on the top of the water might be? It is totally spoiling the view of the tank from above.
Thanks
Tomo
