Microbubbles in a Seahorse Aquarium

I am setting up a seahorse tank and have a H.O.T. Magnum canister that has all the chemical media. I can't get all the microbubbles out of the tank. Will they hurt the seahorses at all. I am planning a pair with a purple firefish or the likes. Thanks for all help.

Have you primed the filter? It should remove the microbubbles. IME with cannisters most have some way to alleviate the extra air. Once it is gone, then the bubbles will be to.

Bubbles aren't fun to look at, I'd get rid of them.

I know they are horrible to look at. I have tried almost everything to get rid of the bubbles. What will the bubbles do to seahorses is my question though.
