Looks like it is coming from your skimmer. Put a filter sponge on the output of the skimmer, it should prevent most of the bubbles.

Or remove the skimmer or turn it off and check it. Where is the top for the skimmer?

Turn the HOB filter flow down so that it creates less bubbles as the water returns to the tank.
Or you could try changing the water level in the tank and see if that helps reduce the bubbles.

At least it is oxygenating your water. I don't think it is anything to worry about.
