    I think you need more water flow.
    If the water is not moving fast enough or the surface is not getting adutated you may end up with a film on top.

    Was the rock and rubble cycled? Increase flow ;-)

    Got the rock from a buddy he's moving so he gave some of it. He had that tank for a couple of months. The refugium is a hangon back that I got from acc. How would u increase the flow in it.
