Alot of your wasted proteins will accumulate at the top. Especially on a long tank like that. It's normal as long as its not overwhelming. You can try getting a powerhead at the other end of the return to churn up the waters surface.

place a power head at the other end of the tank

try running a surface skimmer or just put a powerhead on the side of the tank with the water flow faced up towards the surface of the water. always helps
