Try pointing a powerhead upward to break the surface tension, or install some sort of surface skimmer.

Any kind of hang on skimmer with a surface attachment will do the job for you. I have horrible disgusting surface film on my new 55 because I wasn't able to order a new pump for my Reef Octopus BH1000 skimmer until this week. I am familiar with it though so I wasn't surprised to see it. It won't go away without surface skimming.
