yeah if you can throw a skimmer in there it's definitely not gonna hurt. Also check to make sure your phosphates and nitrates aren't high (undetectable is best). If this doesn't work try adding a powerhead. Is it slimy and easily removable, or is it stuck to the rocks? If its slimy and not really stuck to anything, it's probably cyanobacteria. If it's really stuck to the rocks and it looks hairy add some snails. Pics would help too...
