1. I would probably throw a PH in just for the purpose of keeping the surface nice and agitated.

2. Could be many things, but most likely microbubbles since the tank is pretty new. It takes around a month for all the plumbing to get a slime coat on the inside; after that m'bubbles usually go away.

I agree on surface movement and you may want to place a foam filter block in the sump between the water coming from the bio wheel area to the pump, It will help remove some of the bubbles.
