check all connection for a loose fitting or holes. I assume the water is not really low in sump or you would obviously know it would be from that.

Is a Finnex Tank, and i contact them, they said it's from the skimmer.. Maybe the tank is still new? And on the skimmer pump, there's a tube connect to the pump, and it has a open and close thing to leave a hole. I try both, with the hole open is create a very loud noise, with it close, I have very little noise.. So I should have it close?

Is a Finnex 30 gallon, is all in one tank.. I just plug and play.. and everything is in the back of the tank.. Hard to get a pic of it.. But I'll try..

if its an all in one tank then yea i would pretty much say its from the skimmer. everything has to prime up it takes some time for that usually 2 weeks for most of the bubbles to go away

try turning off the skimmer and see if the bubbles continue...
