The one above with the snail hanging upside down is the rock and you can kind of see the film in that picture. Otherwise none of the other rocks are collecting it and neither is the substrate.

The rock happens to be right in front of the glass and I wisk the magfloat by it several times and it loosens up the film and most of it floats off.

I have two seio p530's, one seio mp820, maxijet that puts out about 230gph, and the skimmer at about 325gph. Not including the two 53gph pushing into the RUGF that is about 2435gph.
Is the water surface really churrning--that could help also.
