    maybe try a filter sock. I use one on the outtake tube of my HOB skimmer, it creates a lot of bubbles in my DT, my filter sock takes care of all the bubbles and my tank is bubble free.

    See if you can locate the bubbles origins.

    Are they coming from a protein skimmer, the over flow, or the return pump itself?

    im not sure
    they arent coming from the protein skimmer.
    the over flow goes down into a filter sock so it cant be the overflow.
    its could be the return pump but i have some mesh like thing that blocks out all micro bubbles.
    the micro bubbles started to appear when i installed my fuge.
