microbubbles from my coralife 125SS

The skimmer is awesome.. There has to be a way to kill the microbubbles that come out of the return.. I have it set up as a HOB with the bubble diffuser that does not seem to work. Any ideas?

Just installed a Euro-Reef last night and was having the same problems with the bubbles in the sump being spread into the tank through the return. I went to the LFS to try and find a sock filter to place over the "elbow" return pipe but was unable to find what I was looking for. I improvised and used some extra quilt batting wrapped around a piece of egg crate. I placed the crate/batting in the corner of the sump and directed the return elbow directly onto it. Seems to be working well for the moment, I can actually see the backside of my tank!!
