Fish Fanatic
I've had a tank for two years, and never had any film problems before now. Around four months ago, I started noticing a film building up on the surface of my water. After a month, I started using a baster to suck up the patches that were forming when doing my weekly clean. Now I'm skimming the surface with a cup to remove it all, and it comes back within days. I tried more frequent cleanings, changing the filter more often, removing my newest decorations (fake floating logs), and it just keeps coming. The only major change I made recently was swapping out my broken hang-on filter for a hand-me-down of the same model from a family friend, although I have no idea how that would affect this. Appreciate any ideas!
