So I got my tank finally setup. However I'm noticing some strangeness which you can see in the attached pictures. These seem to be bands of either micro bubbles or some type of film. On the part on the top of the tank I can wipe it off with a cloth but then it just reforms not too long after as you can see where I dragged my finger across and it's already starting to fill back in. You can see where there is flow from the two power heads directly hitting something the bubbles are not there but everyone else there are a ton. Also in the last image there seems to be a film going around once particular level of the tank.
Anyone know anything about this? Is this just new tank stuff that will eventually go away. Other then the stuff directly on the Acrylic the water seems to be completely clear.
Salinity 1.025 Ammonia 4ppm. Nitrite and nitrate obviously tested 0 at this point with a ph of 8.4. Instant Ocean regular mix used. Powerheads Cobalt MJ900 and Koralya 240. Heater is a 100w Neo-Therm. The pet store didn't have the 75 watt for the 20 gal and since I may update to a 29 gal later when he told me the next level up would be fine I took it.
Hoping the answer is relax sit back and wait no problems.

In all seriousness, I think it's waaaay too early to diagnose any sort of trouble. I think you should give it a month, cycle complete, light, another month, some inhabitants, protein skimmer, and maybe then start looking for issues...
