Bubbles from Fuge

So I recently build my DIY sump with a fuge incorperate into it. Ive been tweeking with it to get everything right but i have noticed latley that there has been a mass amount of bubbles coming from my drain. There is a giant colony of tiny bubbles with big bubbles mixed in. I will try to get a pic as soon as my camera finishs charging. Is there anything that I can do to make it stop bubbling so much? I have so many bubbles that it is condesing and gathering on the bottom of the top of my stand and I am scared that it will weaken it and petentially destroy it leaving my tank on the floor. I have tried using a grate type thing with plastic pieces but that just make a bunch of littler bubbles that make it even worse. If anyone has any advice on what to do that would be much apreciated.thanks

A filter sock might help alleviate some of the bubbles. Something as simple as a nylon stocking on the end of the drain pipe with a rubber band to secure the stocking.

Make sure your wifes foot is still not in it.. I still have a mark on the back of my head from trying to lift her foot into it.

Sounds like one of your mom's nylons(unused would be best, IMO) would do the trick for you, just make sure to clean them frequently or they can clog causing an overflow(been there done that) depending on how things are set up.
