so you think just water less, and all should be well?
 
yes, water and then wait for the top of the soil to become dry. then water again based on when its dry.

I am not sure if you have to remove some of the scum first, but it couldn't hurt
 
Replace top soil with new soil. A good test to see if the plant needs water is to scratch your finger
in the dirt an inch or two deep; if it’s dry then water, if it’s wet then wait a day then recheck.
