my refugium is coated with salt

does anyone have a good way to dump the drain line from the display into the fuge without making so many bubbles? i have tried so many ways but it is impossible to get a pure water flow. the millions of large bubbles it creates pop and get the sides and top of my fuge wet and then when it dried it is covered in salt. i know that not everyone has this problem so i must be missing something. thanks in advance

does anyone else even have this problem? would using a durso standpipe for my drain help reduce the amount of air being sucked in?

Could be the way you have your overflow piped in...
I should first ask, are you coming off the overflow or off a "T" from the return pump...?? I'm guessing the overflow...
Either way, if you can come "in" vertical and drill a small "bleeder hole" an inch or two "up" from the water line, that should "bleed off" some of the air pressure that is "pushing" the bubbles into the fuge/sump whatever...
