Micro Bubbles Help - calgary

[slough shark]

I've had my 120 up and running for the past year or so and can't seem to rid my tank of Micro- bubbles. Im running a Mag 9 return and Im sure the return line isn't sucking air. After speaking with a fellow member, I think the culperate might be my skimmer. The skimmer dischrages into one compartment then water travels through 2 more compartments including a set of baffels before it hits the return pump but the bubbles still make it through. Then end up in the return pump then into my display.
A free adult Coris Wrasse to anyone who can tell me how to sort this out or come over and fix this problem.

I live in South Calgary.

best,
derek

can you put a filter sock over the skimmer outlet that will help diffuse some of the bubbles this is what i had to do to get them to stop in my tank after i upgraded skimmers...

Ive got one. It's a Hydor 600 skimmer which comes with a sock.

can you add more pvc to the outlet where the sock is.. have it come down and put a 90 degree elbow that is half in and half out of the water with the sock on it there ...hard to explain maybe i will take a pic of mine to show you waht i mean if that would help

Okay, I read the whole thing and understand that my pump might be generating bubbles, but how does a guy stop them?

If it's not too much trouble, that would be great.
