So I've had my custom loop for like a week now and I noticed that after folding for a while that their was this spinning bubble vortex in my tube that was coming out of the fitting on my GPU block (so coolant flowing out of GPU and through that fitting). Does anyone know how to get rid of it? It's really messing with my OCD. I tried shaking my PC but the bubble won't disappear. I'm pretty sure the bubble is linked to having a higher pump speed or higher coolant temps or something. Also their are a few bubbles in my GPU block are those fine (I cant see them so they don't mess with my OCD)? It's the middle of the night here so I can't post pictures (gotta sleep) but anyone know how to get rid of the annoying bubble?

It's hard to say without a photo but it sounds like a trapped air pocket, you may need to really move the system around or very carefully crack a port to see if you can let that bubble move or dissipate.
