try and put something under were the water comes out of ur skimmer to deflect it from splashing. maybe a sponge or a piece of acrylic at an angle.

would need more details and maybe some pictures of the sump, return and drain.

with out any of the info i could say , slow down the return some and see what happens.

new pluming will have micro bubble problems for a month or so till a slime build up happens in the pluming.

it looks like the bubbles are coming from when the water dumps in the sump into the media bag it is a cheap 100 micron bag would it help to go with like 200 micron bag? the bag that is in their now is really thin and when the water hits it it bounces around. it was the bag that came with the sump.
