Hello, I bought a very small Black Moor yesturday along with a small 10 gallon fish tank + filters/other. The Black Moor is currently in one of my larger fish tanks while i get the newer tank ready. I dont want him to be attacked by my other bigger goldfish... (hes really small compared to the others).

Anyways, the new fish tank has a lot of bubbles at the surface...
They are mostly around the place where the water from filter falls into the tank. They look like tiny soapy bubbles (not the typical bubbles you see). The water also smells rather strange and not like regular water. I was wondering what they are, and if they are dangerous...

Should i let the water rest for a few more days before moving the fish into that tank? or what?

I didnt use anything but clean tap water from my sink. (no cleaning products involved)

This is the filter that I am using: http://www.completepetmart.biz/tewhexfisy2.html
Sorry, bubbles are really small, but very white, all clustered together, and on very very high amounts at the surface.
I've used a teaspoon (5mL) of something called Tetra AquaSafe

take a sample of your tank water to your local aquarium store. they usually test it for free and tell you what ( if anything) you need.
