    I think the toy on the left is raising your current PH higher, try to remove it, after changing water you should be seeing some difference on your PH. Your moss dont look healthy to me, looks pretty brown from what i see, when moss turn brown they do create oil film also.

    i mean this toy, might have increase your PH, if is not then you got to consider item like rocks etc... and test the PH again.

    Wow that is a pretty deep substrate, it should not be having problems maintaining pH under 7.0

    Re: water have a layer of slime after a few days

    have you measured the pH of the water direct from your tap? or is it possible your test kit is faulty or not for freshwater?

    Shouldn't be above 7.0 unless you have something very alkaline in your system.

    Make sure your pH test kit is not a high-range or marine test kit. I've made that mistake before...
