Stupid Protein Skimmer

[cky]

I have a Coralife Super Skimmer that I bought off the internet a while back. I recently plugged it in and have discovered 2 leaks and it's filling my tank with millions of bubbles. I'm starting to regret buying this thing. The worst part is that I can't even return it because it was on the internet a while ago. Is there any way I can stop the leaks? also am I able to get rid of the bubbles or will my tank just look like sh*t forever?

Where are the leaks?

One leak is right at the bottom of the collection cup, and one is on the tube connecting to the output. I think I may just need to seal it with silicon or something. but my real problem is the bubble. soo soo soo many bubbles. I'm going to try putting my powerhead on the other side of where the bubbles are coming from soo that it's not blowing them all over the tank.
