When I get a little too exuburant feeding frozen or other foods besides flakes there is a more noticeable film on the surface. I do not have an overflow on this tank either. Instead of paper towel I use a piece of the blue bond filter floss from Drs. Foster Smith. Cut it to the width of the tank...
