What Is It??

I have a brown film on the surface of the water. It looks like someone put a layer of brown dust on the surface of the water. Water isn't cloudy, but the surface is gross. What do i do?

add more water circulation. tank specs / pics?

you don't have a surface skimmer do you? or flow to the surface

I have a circulator & I upgraded the pump. I have one of the water jets discharge facing the top of the tank. Its a 24 gallon Aqua Pod. I have no skimmer due to the fact that it won't fit in an Aqua Pod.

increase flow to the surface to break it up

The surface has more than enough flow.

Is this a good skimmer?

No it doesn't.

the skimmer you linked to is a sapphire skimmer. i don't believe they're making them anymore. try to get a surface skimmer for your intake. they sell those for a couple bucks. jbj makes them. check nanotuners
