your not getting all the soap out.
thats what the film is, more than likely.

try using just chlorine bleach and water when you clean your rez instead of soap... 1 part chlorine bleach to 10 parts water.
not sure what effect it would have on the plants. id be leery of using it

Some nuts do that, too. The tablets that come with the Aerogarden do that. I've seen in it other hydro grows as well.

I've seen this type of thing when using an oil drive pump. Check your pump and see if this is the type you have. If it is, even still there's nothing to worry about.
