Does your filtration break the surface up at all?
Do you have an adequate tank cover?
It could be from something that you are feeding. Does it look oily?

It probably is dust. Mine get it as well, even if the water breaks the surface and i don't have any problems with mt fish...
You need more surface agitation. That oily film is a sure fire symptom stagnant water. Get a powerhead and aim it toward the surface.
It's just dissolved organics, or proteins, from dissolved food and fish wastes that rise to the surface. If you filter your water from the surface, with a surface skimmer attachment (Eheim makes one. Check Fosters and Smith) or overflow box, it will go away.

As long as your water parameters are acceptable, then no, it won't really hurt anything.
