Hi,

On the top of the water line, it looks like there are some dirts, unlike saltwater tank, it uses overflow. how can I remove that? thanks

please describe more of what you are talking about

surface film??

If there is a film on the water you can increase your surface agitation. If there is a buildup on the glass you can use vinegar but I wouldn't do that when the tank is full.

a utility blade works well if the tank if full for removing hard water deposits

i find a fine filter pad works most excellent at removing water deposits

Oh yeah, thats an increase in agitation to recirculate any impurities/proteins building up on the surface. Doing this not only gives the filtration system another chance at doing its job but it also removes that unsightly film.

Cheers,

bubble stones are great for this reason

they turn the surface water over into the column.. it keeps the film down
