oh no! it sounds like!!! bubbles... haha everything gets bubbles on it? it could be algae releasing gas under the lights [theres a term for it] at a certain time of day... or if its a new heater the plastic can sometimes cause bubbles until it has a nice layer of "tank juice" on it.. i wouldnt worry about it unless some type of algae is making a structure out of the bubble.... pictures always help for specification though

They have deminished to only a few bubbles now. IDK how it got there or what it is but they were see through, just looks like a normal bubble.....next time i got to the lfs ima take a pic of their nasty tank to show everyone what it looked like...give me a few days, ill repost.

Probably eith like Lilduud said and is some algae on the heater.Or could be that there are some exlremely small micro bubbles in your water thats sticking to the heater.
But I'm going with the algae.

I don't think it's anything to worry about. I think we've all had them at some point.
