The outlet comes straight out of the main lift tube thing where all the bubbles are supposed to be. It doesn't have any baffles or anything to trap the bubbles. I think you are stuck unless you build a bubble trap or something in your tank. Maybe if you let the skimmer break in a little the bubbles will go away a bit.
