Will the micro bubbles in my tank hurt the kalk drip in any way? Ive heard it shouldnt come in contact with air or it weakens it. Is this true? I cant stop these dang bubbles from my skimmer and then the power heads blow them all over. Looks like its snowing haha
 
No.

Kalk reacts with carbon dioxide in your tank and precipitates calcium carbonate. It's going to do this anyways because your tank isn't hermetically sealed from the surrounding atmosphere and most gas Exchange occurs at the interface of the surface of the water.

Stop worrying about micro bubbles. Over rated problem. Takes a lot to bug corals. If you've snorkeled in the ocean there is lots of bubbles and turbulence around corals.
