I always used to get very small snails and what not in my injector.
I would have to clean it every time I cleaned the collection cup.
I would also suggest taking it apart and cleaning it

IME you see the larger bubbles when you have put your hands in the tank and or just fed some oily foods. You have to wait for the oils to break down before your bubbles will be fine again.
