Anybody had issues with thier gyre producing micro bubbles? How did you correct it
 
It's probably sucking air in a small vortex from the surface of the water?

Either slow the pump down or move it lower in the tank.
 
That’s what happens with my mp40. You need to lower it. I read the gyre 300 series is built differently to prevent this.
 
Bubbles get trapped easier in the gyres. It seems when they get dirty they produce more micro bubbles. I usually have one of my settings through the day to run in reverse setting and it will kick out any bubbles trapped and help cut down any micro bubbles in the tank.
