Sigh, have this prob happening to my tank. Changed water gone for awhile, now come back. And i suspect my skimmer not working well, not able to skim out anything. All i can see from the neck of the skimmer is orange mud. And i also suspect it's because of my rowa FR tat return the orange mud. I also wonder why and where it came from. My newly added rowa gave me this prob. Any bro pls advise. :thanks:

Your overflow should be able to get rid of the oil layer... maybe too weak or the flow not directed there by powerheads? If you want to get rid of the oil film immediately, get a towel tissue (for kitchen kind) and spread it over the water surface, leave it there for 2 sec then remove it. Hope this helps. Oh and btw, do wash hands and arms with freshwater (no soap) before putting hands in.
