Hello!
The algae scrubber do not take out the surface film in the tank. How do you reefers only using scrubber as filtration deal with the surface film?? Protein ?

powerheads to break it up.. then something to consume or export the oils out of the tank.. bacteria, carbon, skimmer, etc...
I have a lot of surface tension (movement) and I do not get any film at all.
150G. Reef/Mix
125G. 3 Regular Oscars/1 Jack Dempsey
75G. 20+ Africans
40G. Fish/Reef. Algae Scrubbers on ALL my SW
10G. SW Fish/Reef.
10G. SW Hospital/new fish quarantine/pod breeder tank
6 stage RO/DI system 200 GPD.
I also have a lot of surface movement. Utilize a spray bar down two sides for water return, with a over flow box for water return. Switched to a beananimal full siphon, to increase the flow even more. The full siphon really helped with surface movement and I have had no surface film.

Correct. That is protein (DOC, food, Vitamins, Amino Acids, Carbohydrates) floating on the top. All you need to do is create turbulence.The algae scrubber do not take out the surface film in the tank
I have powerhead blowing slightly up . That moves surface a lot . No sign of film and nice shimmer as well.
