I just upgraded to a bigger tank and have a fluval 205. There are a lot of little bubbles in the tank. Is that normal after first setting it up?

Yes, it is normal. I had that happen with my Rena filter after first getting it started. They will generally disappear after a day or so.

L-55 If the air bubbles don't stop you may have an air leak on the suction side of the pump and it is getting a little air from one of the joints.
