Surface oils or proteins? -
02-03-2007, 10:59 PM
Does anyone else get what looks like a light oil-slick on the surface of their water? I usually wash my hands/arms with dish soap before I stick them in the tank – especially if pruning or water changing. This stuff seems to appear on its own after a period of time (i.e. after a couple weeks).
50 gallon freshwater tank, HOT Magnum filter (used for Mechanical Filtration only), 2 T5 bulbs equalling 17500K @78W. No CO2 injection. No Chemical Filtration.
Livestock> 1 brushnose pleco, 6 Peacock Gudgeons, 4 Green Flame Tetras, 6 Serpae Tetras, 2 Kuhli Loaches, 2-3 Amano Shrimp
Plants> Red & Green Tiger Lotus, Amazon Sword, Water Sprite, Broad Leafed Red Ludwigia, and Frogbit.
