Hi guys,
Tried a few searches but couldn't find anything on this. I have started to have problem with a foamy surface film that develops on my tank. I have done water change on the weekend and dosed liquid carbon as instructed and all was fine, then double dose liquid carbon on the next day and got the surface film on next day. It seem to be worst on the areas with surface agitation. Should I be worried about this?
I also measured nitrite which I haven't in a while since the filter was already cycle by the time I set the tank and noticed it is no longer low but between 0.5 and 1ppm so I am worried I may have some contaminant on my water which is killing my filter bacteria.
Anyway here is a photo of the film:
