overflow
did you put any baffles before the return pump
the last baffle should be off the bottom. so the pump draws water and not any bubbles. i use 2 baffles water goes over baffle one then water goes under baffle two to the pump

bubbles
i forgot one thing.
with your pipe comeing from bottom of tank drill some hole just at the water line. it will help get air out of the line. but put the durso back in. i dont think you want to here it all the time.

The durso that comes with the All-Glass kit has an air-port on the top but Im guessing that the flow rate is not enough to fill the area of the larger diameter plumbing so is acts more like a water slide...
The baffles in the sump are another story. Because Im using a smaller sump (20 gal) I put the skimmer in the first compartment but I don't think it is working properly with all the bubbles in the intake. Redesigning the sump layout to have some sort of baffling before the skimmer is another possibility but then I'll probably have to sacrifice the refugium compartment.

Here is an idea...
Try hanging some filter bags over the feedpipes to the sump. They are available at ocean aquatics. They will seperate the air from water, and do a great job of removing suspended solids from the system.

Got my bags fr OA on Friday and installed on the overflow outlet.
Didn't drop the micro bubbles in the display to zero but did make quite a noticeable difference. Believe the rest of mine are from the skimmer. Have baffles between the skimmer and the pump but the plates are not siliconed (think the bubbles are going under and around sides). Already changed out one bag because of the amount of detritus it collected (and posting this reminds me got the get it out of the washer before the wife comes home).
