What the blazes causes that? My water went from crystal to having a rainbow colored skein of what I assume is an oil based substance on it after running for about a week from a rebuild (planted, fish, thoroughly cycled).
I did a 25% WC focused on skimming that oil off the surface, which lasted all of about a day. Now it's back. Makes the lights reflect a rainbow pattern when viewed from below (though the water).
I've looked at skimmers before - but they all seem to be pretty lame (poor quality, easy to break, wrong connectors, float mechanisms seem to work intermittently, etc.)
ideas?...
