Hi all,
So I've been noticing quite a significant build up of surface scum/ some sort of oily looking film in my newly set up tank. Is this causes by an imbalance with my light/co2/ferts? I've dialed back the light intensity and duration recently to try and tackle my algae problem but I'm wondering if I need to adjust something else if I'm getting this surface scum. Any advice appreciated
PS. I've also noticed a gel/film has built up over my drop checker opening, so it's basically blocking the co2 ever reaching the fluid I think :/ Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Cheers,
Chris
