I had my tank made @ http://www.tenecor.com
They are located in California and only do Acrylic...they will ship also.
Just another idea! :)
And where are my manners?

Yes, A surface skimmer is an overflow box or anything that will pull the water directly off the surface of the tank.
I am assuming you are running a Hang On Skimmer then?
If you have a fluval or an Aqua Clear filter running on the tank, you can buy a surface...
I'm not sure what kind of film that is, usually a film at the water surface looks more like "dust"
I would try agitating the water surface a little more with either a powerhead or more aggresive surface skimming.
What kind of filtration are you using?
Sorry about that, I think I confused this with another thread on here ::)
Dragging your feet is better than rushing...that's for sure.
You're more than welcome to come to a meeting, if you could RSVP for the meeting that would be best.
