Tiny Bubbles


Ok I was wandering how i could stop the tiny bubble that are in the main tank.
I know where they are coming from and it is the skimmer and the skimmer is placed in the sump all the way on the opposite side of the return. I have a sponge on the return part of the skimmer that breaks down some bubbles and the water has to pas through another sponge before it get to the main tank return and I still cant seem to get down all the Tiny Bubbles form entering the tank
Does anyone have any suggestions??

Trig,
I built a sump based on Mojoreef's desgin, with baffles to trap the bubbles before they get to the return pump, and no more bubbles. Check with mojo or you go my sight , I think I have the pics fixed so they will load. Anyway it works great.

What kind of Skimmer ya have, could it be adjusted to back the bubbles down a bit? maybe ya have too many or maybe the pump is to large for the skimmer? Just some thoughts
