You want noticeable water movement through the over flows. Consider lowering the water level and or replacing the stock pump. You want a waterfall effect through the overflow gates. Increased water movement between display and back chambers will carry those surface proteins to the back filtration.
Going to reduce the water level today to see how that goes. Thank you for the advice!
Increase flow or maybe even just aim your powerhead more toward the surface. I haven’t had build up on my surface yet but constantly have particles suspended due to water movement or my female clown creating a dust storm in the sand. Or maybe angle your return nozzle toward the surface that’s how I have mine. Gives a nice ripple and my powerhead comes in and throws random flow around.
Also going to aim the return nozzle's more toward the top of the tank to see if that'll increase the flow. I may adjust the Nero 5 to push a little harder too! Appreciate the feedback
