Re: micro bubbles???
Not unless its causing algae.Dinos,cyano,and other algaes will cause bubbles as they feed off photosynthesis.Then as thos bubble build up in powerheads and pumps,they get chopped into micro-bubbles.

Re: micro bubbles???
Just going by your video.But it looks like some cyano growing on the sponge to your maxi-jet.And you've got some algae and what looks like diatoms popping up.Thats whats causing the bubbles.
Take the sponges and soak them in a bleach solution.Just be sure to rinse them several times in fresh water,then soak them in water and chlorine remover for a couple of hours before putting them back on. Run some phosphate removing media,either phos-ban or rowa-phos. What are your nitrate levels?

Re: micro bubbles???
Another thing to try is leaving the lights off for a couple of days.A lot of times that will go along ways towards clearing up little problems.
