Hello, anyone has experienced with Protein Film in the return chamber. SEE VIDEO below I have a TMC 2.0 750 DC Protien Skimmer that runs 22 hours a day, pulling out the dark skimmate, and 2 MP40s on one side of the tank and an Ai Orbit 4 on the othere, producing surface agitation..Any advice on this would be extremely grateful. An additional pump MAY send air bubbles to the display tank, I am trying to avoid that

Yes , surface agitation will remove.

I set up a carbon reactor and have it barely dripping in that area.

Hey there, thanks for the reply, I never set one of those up before, heard about them but never seen one used before...hopefully it is not an expensive add-on

You can use a little power head too to agitate the water.
