Micro Bubbles from filter? How to get rid?

So I have an AC 110 on my 55 gallon. It puts out alot of micro bubbles that float around the tank, and looks tacky in my opinion. Is there any way to combat this? This is probably a dumb question, but I figured I would ask...

I'm not sure if this would apply to your filter but when I see micro bubbles coming out of mine, it's indicative of reduced flow and it is time to clean the filter.

Nah I have not had it for very long. That cant be it. I was thinking and I assume it has something to do with the water level. Or maybe thats just how mine is...

hmm the only thing that comes to mind if there's airstone or bubblewand somewhere near or below the 110's intake.

Nope its on the complete other side of the tank. The filter has only been running for about 2 or 3 weeks now. So its not dirty or anything. I just figured it would go away by now. I am doing a water change now and I will see if doing something with the water level does anything as I fill it up.

Update*** So I raised the water level and the bubbles are gone.
