How long have you had your skimmer set up? After mine broke in I found that I didn't even need the foam/bubble trap anymore. I have a few small bubbles, but not so many that they are distracting or anything. I have the 65 gallon one on my 15 gallon reef.
My biggest complaint is the size of the pump when you're using it as a hob unit.
I've never cleaned the inside of the skimmer. I have a couple featherdusters growing in there now, doesn't seem to be a real problem.
