I am not sure if this is a new idea or just something I came up with.. I was having alot of trouble with microbubbles..so I placed my return pump into a filter bag..and voila...no more microbubbles... like I said..this might be a tired old idea..but it worked for me.

Adding baffles to your sump that are spaced 1" apart works great, you can also build a bubble tower that forces the bubble up and the water out the bottom. Sometimes just adding an elbow or a little more pipe can slow bubbles.

 

I was worried about bubbles on my new setup because my pushing around 900gph through it and my skimmer is also dumping into it. But so far with testing the bubble traps are doing great.
