Alge film

[suv]

I have a brown alge film on top of my water, I've tired skimming it off, doing water changes and still can not get rid of it. What is causing this, what can I do to get rid of it?

Try increasing the turbulance on the top of the water.

Try increasing your surface agitation with a couple powerheads.Excess nutrients with poor water circulation is usually the cause.

Yup, thats what it is. Direct your return line or a powerhead towards the surface of your water to get more movement.

Yea I already did that last night, andd it is making a bit of a difference. But I think mabey I need a bigger power head.
