My tank thinks it's in Holywood... or at least has enough film to be there

[tjtsj]

My tank has been up and running with LR for about 3 weeks. I noticed a film on the surface last week but it seems to be worse now. It's thick enough for me to use my gutter guard material and create bubbles in the mesh. The clear spot in the pictures is from a power head pushing water towards the surface.

Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? My overflow is seen in the picture as well.

Thanks for the help.

You just need more surface agitation. Point a powerhead towards the water's surface and you should be rid of it shortly.

One of the best thread titles ever

I agree with amcarrig. Everyones tank gets that when there is nothing to break it up on the surface.
