Just another problem with the tank. Today I woke up and saw the tank was full of small little bubbles. I added some more water to the sump and the bubbles got better but still got a lot. Any tips?
 
Do you have an ATO on your tank? If you do- and if the water level is adjusted correctly, you shouldn't have any micro bubbles from your return pump. Chances are that you don't have sufficient water in your sump.

Share some pictures of your sump? It would be helpful to see the water level in your return chamber.

Do you have any powerheads close to the surface in the display part of your setup?

Here are a few photos of the sump I am really confused on why it’s happening I added more water to the sump to try to fix it and it did nothing

Are the bubbles coming from the skimmer? Can't really tell from those pictures (if you add more, please use white light).

If so, I had the same issue so I just put a piece of filter floss between the skimmer and return to block the bubbles getting pumped into the display.
