If it's a new setup it probably just needs some time. Once the pipes slime up a bit most of the microbubbles go away.

Is it microbubbles in the water or on the rocks? If it is on the rocks it is just algae releasing oxygen, Will go away once the tank is cycled

no its in the water, not bubble algae

I'm not talking about bubble algae. I'm talking about the regular algae bloom you get with a new tank and it releases oxygen. You will see clear air bubbles stuck to the rocks.
