Making a few assumptions, however these tips may help.

I assume your skimmer is creating the bubbles, if so how is your skimmer returning its water back to the sump?

One tip that works is run the skimmer water output over for example a stepped Perspex sheet, I used this in the past to remove micro bubbles from a display tank, that had a HOB skimmer, that was introducing bubbles.

Imagine a flat per Perspex sheet, with ridges stepped all the way running from left to right like the steps on a ladder, I made the ridges using beads of silicone sealant. Running the return water flow over this will beak the micro bubbles.

Next tip, that has helped me in the past, is if you only run one return pump try running two at half the flow rate of the single you are running so if you have a 6000 litre per hour single return, replace that with two 3000 litre returns, it gives the bubbles slightly longer to dissipate in the sump before being returned to the tank but you are still moving the same volume of water.

Probably help more with a better description of your setup.

Cheers

Nath.
