Is it a new setup? That can be a problem at first but once biofilms form it subsides.

Edit- looks like it isn't new. Can you find the source?

I have a ton of micro bubbles also with no skimmer, it is from the drains of my overflow they produce a ton of bubbles.

Put in a sponge somewhere before your return pump you should pretty quickly find the source.

I was able to break mine up in one tank with use of filter socks
