White film in new tank.
I got my new tank going a few days ago. I only added the water to get the sump going and making sure the plumbing was good. It is still fresh water as I have not added the salt. After a day there is now a white film all over the tank and sump. Any guesses as to whats going on?

This may be a stupid question but I have to ask, by any chance did you add the freshwater to any LR or LS? I just have to ask because I know someone who did this before and something similar happened to him. He actually added the sand and LR then put freshwater in the tank and waited for everything to settle, turned the power heads on and started adding salt.
