Sump microbubblese

[chrisnif]

So I plumbed my sump and I'm just about happy with it and my only issue is tons of microbubbles, like just pretend you have a knock off junk skimmer Anyway, I'm using a wet dry as a sump (took the bioball plates and all that out) with a bunch of live rock rubble. There are no baffles, which is the reason I'm sure that I'm getting so much microbubbles. Sadly the sump is under the tank and putting in baffles just isnt going to happen, so what if I put in the foam block to separate the pump and the water dump? Could that help, are there other options?
Thanks guys

you could try building a wall out of egg crate and filter floss.It might work.
Good luck

Are you positive that the bubbles are coming from the sump and not from the return pump?
Internal or external pump?
How much unused space is left in the sump?
There are probably some really easy answers but first I need to understand your sump better.
