so how do i cut down on the little bubbles being sent up to my tank from the sump? they are created by the drain into the sump.

Baffles.

Have your drain land on a sponge filter.

Filter sock.

More baffles.

SO i guess ill just have to install a few elbows in order to get my return pump far enough away from my drain to install baffs?

Better to go with flexible PVC or tubing for the return pump so you don't loose pressure and then add the elbows (45 degree ones worked better for me) to the drain to get it to the other side.

Did you get the tank up and running?

I cleaned my skimmer this weekend inside and out, and since then I have had immense amounts of bubbles in the display. Everything is covered in bubbles. I am not a happy camper. Need to get a bubble trap.
