Okay, so I jumped on board about floating plants and the benefits they add to the tank. My 5 gallon betta tank is now completely covered with floating plants and I've noticed one issue...surface bio-film. Do I need to take out the floating plants and clean the surface scum off or can I leave it as is? I'm worried because we need that gas exchange that happens on the surface. I also understand that a HOB filter can break up the surface as the outflow water hits the water surface, will this be enough gas exchange?
