A pic of your sump might trigger a few ideas. Also could you be sucking air in the return anywhere??

I use a filter sock on the output of my skimmers and returns from the tank.
They work great for controlling microbubbles. I have to change them out for a clean set once a week.

Would this work without a gatevalve mod?
