This is the best 35$ I ever spent as I had a film in my frag tank ,I gave it a spin in a bucket of warm fresh water for 20 mins then put in frag tank and I don't know if it was 5 mins and the film was gone no kidding. Just heads up they are selling fast and Jeff told me his are selling fast . Eheim Skim 350 Surface Skimmer at JLs

Great idea. Problem for me is its only in rp section of sump.

Either was I sponged it up. Wayne I tried to get a pic but no-go. When I took it out it was just like drooling egg white. This has only happened since I started zeo so...I think what has happened is I've had high 4 and the suggestion from the zeo forum was to slightly increase my dosing so I would think the slime is a byproduct of the bacteria. No that it's removed I'm hoping tgat slowing down my return pump will allow the skimmer to skim it out.

I read a article about flow through the sumo and it suggested tgat with to high of flow through sump the surfactants are pushed through the sump to fast to be taken up by the refuge skimmers and other equipment.

To me thus would make sense on why it's only in the last chamber

It sounds like there is a protein buildup in there and will likely balance itself out. I have a slight film of slime in my final chamber, but never looked twice at it. Just sit back and watch the epic collection grow
