micro bubbles are no good for anything in the tank

your clean up crew will take care of knocking those free over the next week or so. a few air pockets will not really hurt anything. it is the microbubbles that can get caught by polyps and keep water from reaching them that are the real problem. thus larget bubbles occasionally being knocked off the rock and to the surface should be of little alarm for you.
