Need help with my fish tank

[jfall]

Ok, so I setup a 10 gallon fish tank.. put the gravel in it, fake plants and a couple of other things. Got a heater, I have the pump/filter and I also got an air pump. Anyways, I filled the tank up with cold water and turned up the heater.. everything seems to be running alirght except there is like thousands of tiny bubbles all on the inside of the tank, there are so many that it kinda of makes the tank look dirty. I am just wondering if that is normal and they will go away, or did I do something wrong, or not doing something that I was suppose to? Are you suppose to clean the walls with something to get rid of the bubbles, or will they disappear on their own?

Perhaps this will help.

It helps me in some other questions I had.. but not really with this particular one

Basically...just give it time. Seems when I set up my 29-gallon tank I had similar issues. I added some of that conditioner and waited about a week and added some tetras. They did fine.

And if worse comes to worse, you can ditch the tank and use this.

Great, now I'm going to be up ALL NIGHT playing that. Wait, it's 6:48am and I haven't slept since 7am yesterday morning. Damn.

The bubbles are quite normal for a new tank being set up and heated for the first time. Give it time, about a day or two, they will disappear.

If you have any other questions, just pm me..........I managed a pet store for a couple of years and have set up and run lots of tanks, fresh and salt.

Have fun trying to get the secret pet. And BTW, something to aspire to. I beat everything, got all the pets all in less than 3 hours and in the free play mode could easily get over 30k in less than 10 minutes. Not bragging or anything. Have fun.
