Well, I took your advice and "fixed" the issue temporarily. I placed a C clamp on the return line for about 5 min's and dialed it in until the return flow was restricted to the point where overflow box experienced a cascade. This was long enough for the scum to be eradicated.

It's just that if that were a permanent fix, turnover would have been reduced by over half.

Until I find a permanent solution, I'll restrict via C clamp to remove the film when necessary.

Thanks for the great responses, all!
