Yes its normal morgan

You should be able to adjust how many bubbles it makes and at what speed though there should be a little piece of air tubing where you can manage speed and amount of bubbleys

How is your tank doing?

What type is it?
You should be able to adjust the water flow to reduce the micro bubbles returning to the tank

Bubbles are due to it just breaking in. They should mostly go away after it is done breaking in. You might have to adjust it a little bit once it is done breaking in to get rid of all the micro bubbles.
