bensanders Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 stop putting oil in your tank? just kidding. What kind of oil are we talking about here? A film on the surface? Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Surface skimmer or surface agitation. It is not oil but surface film, organic waste http://www.nano-reef.com/search/q.php?cx=p...m&sa=Go#922 Link to comment
AZDesertRat Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Every once in awhile float a paper towel or piece of newspaper on the surface and it will soak it up. The long term solution is a protein skimmer though. Link to comment
