What is the water temp? How quickly does the the film come back? how would you describe it? If it's crusty, it could be. precipitate or if it's slimy, bacterial.

Temp 78. Comes back within an hour after cleaning. Its been about 2 weeks. Havent felt it to see if its slimy or crusty. Comes off easy almost like powder when using mag float. Had a little bit of algae a week ago thats gone now after some manual removal and adding a tunze skimmer.
