The bubbles are more than likely resulting from the skimmer. This can be eliminated by placing the skimmer in a certain portion of your sump. I have never had a sump, so I will leave it to those with experience to guide you through this.
Make sure you aren't utilizing the air intakes on your powerheads, you shouldn't have any sort of aeration in a marine tank, only rapid water movement.

mudplayer what is the air intakes on the powerhead it is completly submerged in the water, and the skimmer can only fit in one spot sumps not big enough to move around with the main pump in there an all .

also if it is the skimmer could i lower the amount of air intakes or will that hurt its efficiency?

What brand of skimmer do you have? I hope it is not a visi-jet or a seaclone... those are notorious for poor performace with escaping bubbles. I know, I have one

Skimmers require frequent adjustment to keep them efficient, this includes to keep the bubbles from escaping. Can you see bubbles escaping from the skimmer?
I hope somebody with a sump helps you out, because I have very limited knowledge on sumps.
