ways to clean water surface.

Hi.I found that using DIY CO2,surface always have a layer of dirt/oil/whatever .Besides using a skimmer, any is a good way to keep the surface clean?The layer kinda block some light to the plants, but seems to hold the fine bubbles of CO2!

I have a layer of oil too but mine is probably from food. I'm using Vitakraft.
I don't really care about it, never gets too thick.

Maybe manual remove? mini dust pans?

Surface scum can be remove using natural means... I use mollies.. they do take some of those stuff.. wonder why but hey they remove it..

Other use paper... oil will usuall stick to it.. hmm.. you might need plenty. Best way is still add a surface skimmer.

take newspaper and place just under the surface then lift out to remove the undesirable stuff.
cheap and effective
