Too many bubbles for micro scrubbing?

[Fishninja]

I am attempting to do micro scrubbing in my JBJ 45 gallon tank, however when I look up micro scrubbing, I see that some people do it with very little bubbles and some do it so much that you can't see into the tank. It seems to me like this is kind of a controversial idea to begin with so it is hard for me to know what is right and wrong for attempting micro scrubbing. Also I have heard that starfish aren't supposed to be exposed to air, I have a red fromia starfish. Thanks in advance - Fishninja

No sure about starfish but I know you shouldn't expose any sponges to air as it can block their feeding passages.

I read that it should look like smoke in the tank and I was even told that I shouldn't be able to see it in the display if I stand ten feet back. (I think i may hold off from doing this for the sake of my star fish but I still plan on doing it in the future).

Invertebrates actually enjoy higher levels of oxygenation and aeration... pretty much the entire tank would...

Please see this attached video for a pretty decent explanation of the process and the results...
