micro air bubbles

Woke up today to a invasion of micro bubbles from my returns. Took the skimmer apart and cleaned it. I have a foam block on my pump.Can't seem to narrow down the cause. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Pictures of your sump and set up would help...

Did you add anything to the water overnight with an automatic dosing device ?

I didn't add anything. I can't upload pics atm. No direction change in sump water direction.

Think you could have anything spawned in the tank?

I doubt anything spawned. It is a new set up and contents are minimal

Return pump is submerged? If not it could be a leak in a seal or coupling that is sucking in air.

Hmmm, pump is submerged but coupling is not. I'm going to take it apart and see if it helps. Thanks everyone
