Fishkeeper26 said:You need more surface agitation, im pretty sure its protein build up, or oils from hand cream or the like
Rokuzachi said:Are your tanks around any kind of smoke?
I regularly burn incense in the same room as my tanks, and even with high surface agitation, the smoke causes a film to form on the surface.
Bruce410 said:Any ideas on how to get rid of this? It keeps coming back after water changes and it's still hard to get rid of it with a water change. It's a betta tank and all parameters are good.
Let me know of any guidance you have.
millerb7 said:I have a in-tank filter on my 5 gallon tank for my beta (since the HOB filter caused to much water movement it was blowing the little guy around) and I get this film buildup about every week... but since I do a 20-50% water change once a week it normally goes away. I might try leaving my water a tad lower this time though so the filter creates some splashing as to agitate the water.... see if that helps.
Whiter, brighter, new and improved! (laff)...Rinse repeat as needed.
