Are the microbubbles making it up to your display? Microbubbles in the sump isn't an issue as long as they are being eliminated before they reach the return pump.

Generally, folks setup a bubble trap in the sump, which is a series of baffles the water must travel through before going in to the section where the return pump is located.
Melev has a good example of what this looks like on his site: http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html
