For the past month or so, there have been small particles covering the Entire top of the water in my 30 gallon freshwater tank.

The particles Do Not sink so, the Fluval 205 canister pump can't suck it up. I've tried skimming the particles off with a fish net but, the particles are so, small that they don't skim off very easily. Even after I remove the debris, the next time I feed the fish the debris comes back.

I've had this tank for 10+ years with no other problems. I have a Plecostomus, 1 small female Convict fish and a small Cichlid.

Here's some pictures.
