Hello!! This weird biofilm has showed up these past couple days. Any info or help detecting the cause of this and how to rid of it would be great. Just got a maxima clam so I’ve been dosing some phyto here and there. Not sure what’s causing this!

Is it only visible when the pumps are off? If so, it could just be normal oils/fats from food and stuff.

It looks to be a protein bio film. It can be seen even when lights are off. I’m just not sure what’s the cause and why this is building up? I’m running some carbon too
