I have a:

24 Gal Nano Cube
Oceanic Biocube skimmer (Just put in)
MH Lighting

That you all...

I'm guessing you don't have an overflow and sump. If not, that white film is organics.

Do you think a surface skimmer attached to the HOB filter would help to take care of this?

yes, a surface skimmer will help/eliminate the film
