Stopping MICROBUBBLES????

I have a 125 gallon tank, 30 Gallon Sump/Fuge that I just set up. I have a CPR Overflow CS-102 rated at 1200gph and a Mag 18 return pump. My overflow has two drains with pool hose connected that lead to my section with my AquaC EV-120(Which is still breaking in) I am getting all the bubbles from the overflow hoses which are traveling through 3 baffles, the fuge area and getting pumped back to the tank. What can I do now to eliminate the Microbubbles that I am getting? Any suggestions at all will be useful. Could it be the overflow pool hoses are too long, they are submersed in water but I could cut a quite a bit off and they still would be. Or would PVC plumbing from overflow help? Please Let me know thanks!!

Is that pool hose the "ribbed" type..??
Going to smooth line will help...
Set drain line 1" below surface of sump and drill a small (1/4") air hole about 4"-6" up to relieve air pressure and help smooth drain flow...
