Yup. I absolutely love mine. Comes in handy whenever I trim plants.

if it looks like there's an oil slick on the surface of the tank.
I use a surface skimmer as the inflow for my canister filter.
There are also stand alone surface skimmers, and for some people, running an airstone is enough to break up the surface slick.
The biofilm isn't a big issue unless you're running Co2, because when you run CO2 you want to maximize gaseous exchange to avoid gassing your fish when your water becomes oversaturated with Co2. Otherwise the biofilm will make floating plants a little easier to kill and looks a bit ugly but is basically harmless otherwise. Some fish and shrimp like to eat it.
Hi All! First time poster here and I am loving this subreddit!
​
I am 7 weeks into my 10 gallon planted and my MC carpet has started to take off- albeit quite unevenly and patchy in some areas. Part of this is likely due to some ammonia die off and melting when I flooded the tank (no dry start here).
​
I don't know if I should let it grow out more before trimming it,
or start trimming it now to encourage horizontal spread.
Could the sand cap be a problem?
Could it be flow? I am using an corner nano filter (Dennerle Nano Filter which came with this set). Thought about replacing it with an Eheim Cannister 2211 or...
look into keeping the existing corner filter and adding a nano, standalone surface skimmer which may help with adding more circulation.
​
My setup:
10 Gallon Hi-Tech Dirted tank with pool filter sand cap and clay tabs
Thrive dosing 3x a week.
CO2 8 hours about 1-1.5 bps
Light: 9 hours (4 hours on- 2hr siesta, 5 hours evening).
Light Fixtures: Asta Light and Finnex Planted + clip on (about 1.5w/gallon).
NO3 is about 10ppm
Bioload is 6x Dwarf Cardinal Minnows, 4 Sparkling Grouamis and 4 Nerite Snails
Filter: Denerrle Nano Filter (came with the scapers set- I love it).
Here's a FTS if anyone's interested

Anyone try the AZOO Surface Aquarium Skimmer? I'm trying to reduce biofilm in my fluval spec v. I only have one male betta and have tried to mod the intake and skim the top with a net. Even if I point the outflow at the top, film still develops. I also feel bad because I have a lazy boi who gets blown off his leaf hammock if I leave it like that.
