I havent put a skimmer in mine yet. I needed an instant cycle, so I pretty much filled the sump with live rock. The intention was to remove the rock and put a skimmer in, after the tank was stable. Its running so well as is I think I may just keep it skimmerless.
If your using a skimmer, the chamber on the left may be too shallow? Ive got mine slightly overfilled to cover all the rock and its still shallow! Whatever side you decide to use I dont think micro bubbles are an issue, the waterfall pretty much takes care of those.

I see the taller chamber is off the bottom of the sump. This will help increase dwell time as the bubbles will be forced down. Most sumps have more baffles to increase dwell time when a skimmer is used but if you have any issues rock rubble will help.

After seeing Shelley's pic, I think it's possible to run a skimmerless set up, as long as waterchanges are done then you should t run into any problems...
Running a skimmer on this type of system may cause microbubbles since the sump is so short and bubbles produced from the skimmer has no time to dissipate. Maybe check out some YouTube vids and see if running a skimmer is possible and works without bubbles. Also try a google search to see any sump pics on the neo tank.
