I just switched my tank out from 70g to 90g. I added a closed loop, I'm using a GenX 55hd. My impeller was stuck, and I finally got it to work, I got massive bubble's I suspect a air leak, what says you???

That is a strong possibility.Make sure the CL intakes are submerged deep enough as its possible you might be vortexing air in off the surface.

How long has it been running?  I assume it's been long enough for you to suspect a problem.  My CL take about 10 minutes to get all the bubbles out.

I only let it run for a couple of minutes. They were micro bubbles, the real tiny ones and they filled the tank, should I let it run a little longer??

I would give it at least 30 min. but check for water leaks before that.
