So I get home and before I get my camera out, I look at the tank and its spotless. Strange.
I forgot to mention that yesterday when I had these spots on the glass, the water was almost slightly cloudy as well. Not cloudy enought that most people would even notice, but enough that the water had a blueish tinge from the lights (clearly something in the water that was picking up the light).
Today no spots and water is crystal clear. Also forgot to mention I checked the water yesterday and it was fine (0 amonia, 0 nitrites and about 10-20 nitrates).
the problem appears to be gone now but I'd still like to try to fig this out. I wish the spots were still there so you all could see what I was talking about.
