Objects on the top of the water of my tank

I am new to keeping fish and just set up my tank I am leaving it to settle for a week before I put fish in the tank. Today I was checking on the tank and I noticed these weird transparent objects floating on the top of the . What are they and what do I do ?

nothing for sure im not an expert on floating stuff, but that looks like what happens when the water isnt getting stirred. A film-like substance covers the top eventually. Do you have a filter that agitates the surface if the water?

Surface scum, it’s not dangerous but if you want to get rid of it you probably need a filter with surface skimmer.

A week to cycle a new tank is way too short allow four weeks as a minimum for the biological filter to be well established before adding any fish, and then add fish slowly over several weeks. Don’t over feed.
