Best way to stop splashing and bubbles

I have a nwb 200 in a 30 gallon sump. Small sump size causes the skimmer return to splash a lot and create a lot of micro bubble. Any suggestions on the skimmer return.

You can place some vented plumbing to direct the water downward or you can try having it run parallel with the wall of the sump. If you can take a picture I may be able to offer more suggestions.
