I would point the powerhead or return to the surface a little to add some surface movement. A little film floating around is ok but the film should not stuck in one side.
I see. I would just buy the OEM piece so as not to ruin the look. But why do you need it? There are two Redsea tanks in Trops and I don't remember seeing this one any one of them.
Marcus - you can shop around ebay might be able to get a cheaper version. Also if you want to DIY I have acrylic sheet you're welcome to come get some. I even have the blade to cut it but my table saw is not good enough. You do not need the teeth but you do need some screen to prevent fish or...
If you have a fairly new tank that does not consume a lot of alk and calc you may find its hard to get the levels down to NSW levels with IO. You can use a salt that mix to NSW levels then switch to the cheaper IO salts. I had this problem when I first setup the tank.

I figure since it's earth day I might as well post some of the stuff I accumulated to see if anyone can use them. If you're interested and want to know the details just ask.
Fish food - all the food are still fresh. I throw out the old food. Have a bag of 33% spirulina flakes, great for fish...
I have used chemiclean twice as a reset and both times had very good results. Your take will look cleaner than ever. I had cyano when I moved tank and made some big changes. You should not have the problem once your tank is mature and balanced.
I feed frozen blackworms as their main diet. Then I supplement tangs with some nori. I also feed other frozen food occasionally. I have a bunch of different things in the freezer.
