Not sure if this would help at all, just an idea that popped into my mind.

What about putting some kind of filter pad over the output tubes?

I already have a sponge over the output tube, my tank is still filled with bubbles. Thanks for the reply though. I'll keep at it.

Look at my mod. Some pvc pipe and a fluval pre filter sponge. Looks better and works. I have since switched to the reef octopus hob love that skimmer...

Ok.....So from the pics it looks like you split the single output into a double output? Also your tube on the powerhead looks to be just that...tubing....mine has a flow valve on the intake tube, should it be open all the way? I got rid of the diffuser box as well and put a filter sponge on it...Thanks for the help.
