Some type of film on my water surface

Hi all,

I got some type of film on my water surface of my planted tank. Could it be my ceratophyllum demersum? I know it releases something in the water, to help keep algae away.

Please advise

Have you recently cleaned your filter?.

 

Just replaced my fIter batting on Wednesday and cleaned my sponges of my internal filter last weekend

can also get it from over feeding and not enough surface movement

 

I dont over feed could be not enough surface movement, this only happend during the last few days.

yeah dont worry about it. its harmless. i get itin my tanks sometimes usually when i crank up my co2. at nighr my airstone takes care of the surface film

 

In Holland we call it a "kaamlaag". Had to do with your filterchange, are some dead bacteria and is harmless as Ryno said. Put the flow of your filter on the surface and it will dissapear. Greetz Aad

 

Okay cool then I thought it would be harmless thanks.

Thats really interesting.

 

My spraybar from my internal sump is pointed upwards and it breaks the water surface, I just moved my one internal filter closer to the surface for extra surface movement. I will move it down again tomorrow afternoon
