have the same issue with the jbj nano. I think wither the pumphas a slight crack or the water level on that side of the built jn overflow is somehow lower

Well it does appear that I shut my skimmer off the bubbles are greatly reduced. Will this change as the skimmer breaks in?

If its a new skimmer i believe its normal until it breaks in

I would assume that your skimmer is the issue. My idea was going to be that your return line is sucking air somewhere.
