Wet/Dry Bubbles, Help!

Hello
I just installed a new Wet/Dry Trickle on my 45 Corner tank. It is a FOwLR. Set up is fine, I have no leaks, however I do have Alot of Small Air Bubbles coming from the return from the Wet Dry.
From the tank I have a Overflow box with a Prefilter sponge. Then to the Wet/Dry. Bio Ball Tower then through another sponge to pump area. I have the return pump, Rio 3100, running through a UV Steralizer then to the return. It hits the Ball valve for flow control then to the tank. I also run a Protien Skimmer that also runs from the Pump area using a Hagen Powerhead that dumps back into the Pump area. It is kinda loud but mainly it is the Rio Pump.
Like I said earlier my main concern is the small bubbles i the tank from the return. Any help on how to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

is the skimmer dumping on to the pump and is the water in the wet/dry on the line or above. The pump might be sucking air due the lack of water in the filter.

Like Poiboy said, make sure your inlet to your return pump is as far away from water being dumped by the skimmer. That could be the problem.

Thanks for the input. I moved some things around and it seems to be getting better. I will give it a few more days before I yell again. Thanks
