Hi guys,
I’ve just noticed a strange layer of ‘ oil ‘ on top of my sumps water level, i had syphoned it out previous night but seem to came back next day just as much.
Only change i’ve had was adding a refugium to my sump (reefer 170) I have a cheap ebay light on at 12 hrs a day opposite my DT light schedule.
There seems to be abit of algae maybe growing near the pipe?
What is the oil like film and do i need to get rid of it?
Thank you in advance!
