My old 55 was on it's last leg. Convinced the wife to let me get a new one..(did'nt tell her bigger and better). Anyway, got it all set up and transfered over from the 55. In the process I cracked the brand new 29gal sump and got a different one. This is the first time I have done a drilled...

Kool thanks for the reply I'll try that....

Ok, I do have power heads so I will point one on top. I already have a waterbar as a return from my fluval but that just seems to stir it and not really eliminate it. I wonder if i should get another skimmer for the surface area? Hmmmmm......

My issue is that it is submersed and does nothing to remove the (slight so far) build up on the surface. What are my options to remove the film on top or stop it all together. Is there a...

Sounds like the overflow is the answere. I may as well get down and dirty and do it right with a sump. It was bound to happen and now i have a good reason......now, how to explain it to my wife.....:) :) :) :) Thanks for the feedback and your tank looks sweet.....KILL the apstasia!!!

The tank is well established 1yr +. I redirected my powerheads to the surface and it clears the areas where they are pointing but it never actually disipates. I've tried skimming with a net but most of it goes though. Was thinking of a nylon for skimming but am afraid to introduce foreign...
