nope...
it's probably oil from the fish food or something... i would get some surface aggitation going on... lower the tank's level or add some air bubbles... you could also take it off using paper towels...

another thing you could get is a surface skimmer attachement for your filter...

That's a neat find gumbii. I hate bubblers. The only one I have now is one of those hydor arios (fully submersed) makes no freaking noise. Could I run that attatchment off a spraybar?
