Hmm woke up this morning and my powder blue has what seems to be like a opaque film on him coming off. He's eating and looks okay but what could it be?

It can be hard to tell the different between ich and marine velvet as they have some similar systpoms. Get a good copper and copper kit and try to treat right away. Also I would leave a light on near the tank all day as this will keep the fish active and strong to fight of the ich/velvet.

From what I've seen in the begining of treating for ich if the fish goes to sleep, once the lights are off, the ich tends to take a lot out of the fish making it hard for it to fight off the ich itself. So if you can leave a light on near the tank it will probably be better for the fish.
