This I can say for sure has never happened ...

Maybe, like you say, this will go away once our fox is sold, but I really doubt it
This is not some kind of nutrient the fish like
None of our fish will eat this goo ....

I hope to report back that this issue is gone once the fox is sold, but I doubt it

It's not small enough to be fish waste, nor coral waste

It's sheets of stuff ....

I've said before, it looks like ghosts in the water, floating around, waving things of a clearish white color, or whitish-clear

I'll do my best to get some pics or vids of it .....

How much surface agitation do you have? I had a section of my sump where I had nearly no surface movement what so ever. The water flowed so smoothly over the baffles that there was no surface movement and I found I had a slight film develop over it in time. I just assumed it was an accumulation of something, either protein the skimmer didn't get a chance to remove or a byproduct of one of the tanks inhabitants.
All I did was move a piece of equipment that roughed up the flow before a baffle creating some wave action across that section and I've never had it again.
