How often does he sleep up there? How warm is up there? Does he only go up there when the light is on? How much are you offering him?

I'm not sure what the film is though I think it's coming from the material of the basking area you are using. It could be deteriorating or mildew.

*How much food are you offering?

I would work at getting a different ramp, one that is suitable to go into water.

You can move him to mainly pellets. Tuna will foul up the water quicker.
