It sounds like it is just a build up of proteins that have not been removed by the skimmer. This is why sumps with drilled tanks or external overflows are so important. My suggestion would be to aim a powerhead towards the surface to get it all moving. Once it is in the water column you have a chance that it will be removed by the skimmer, which is what you want.
