That would make sense with my experience, too. Someone on this list some 
time back (sorry I cannot remember who) suggested putting in black 
mollies for this surface scum. Well I used about 4 mollies for a 80 Imp 
Gallon tank. The mollies swam around like little underwater vacuums and 
ate the scum in a matter of days. Man did they get fat fast!

It is worth a try!
