Problem with micro bubbles in tank ... from sump I guess?

[Jonathan blackwood]

I've recently set up my 72 gal bowfront and now I'm having all these dang micro bubbles sticking to my live rock! They won't stay away and keep repopulating. I have put filter and sponges in between my sump baffles , I have rearranged my return, I have put thicker sponges in. I can't seem to get them to stop. You can't really see any coming from my return and the are not in the last baffled section of my sump... so I don't know where they are coming from. I think they are appearing more from my overflow drain that goes into my sump. The sock has many bubbles and I can see them making there way through the sock. But I don't understand how they are going through the sponges and baffles. What else can I do ?? Help!

Are they there in the morning when the lights first come on? If not, then it's probably just oxygen being produced through photosynthesis. (algae growth)

Now that I think of it, more if not most of them I noticed later on in the day or eking time. But still there are some in the morning

My issue might be a little different. My micro bubbles are all free floating, not sticking to the rocks

First stage of cyano.

And this will take care of itself as ending part of cycle ??

Once oxygen released from the rock, cyano algae will build up.

And how do I get rid of the cyano ??
