IME more surface agitation takes care of it.

Yep, point a ph more to the top and get more agitation.

I agree with surface aggitation. Also lay a paper towel on top of it and quickly take it out and it will take most of it out. It`s called a protien sheen.

Also had the same problem when my tank was new and more surface aggitation took it away
