microbubbles from my new closed loop, how can I find the leak?

As I said, its shooting microbubbles into my tank, I don't know where it could possibly be pulling air from? Is there anyway to find out where the air is from?

Thanks everyone!

You can look for salt creep or grab a tube of silicone and cover every connection thoroughly.

I'll definately do that...but how can I do that while parts are in the water?

If the parts are in the water they aren't causing microbubbles.

If you see a little vortex coming into a submerged area that is another thing though.
