Add more flow to the top of the water .
Similar to the display tank where you have the power heads or wave maker pointing at the surface .
The water in my sump is moving too fast and probably why I don’t notice it . But the first baffle is where the cheato and red slime from the cheap grow light seams to collect
 
The current pump is around 8 times water turn over so maybe a small wave maker down there as well sump is around 200ltr ?
