Red Sea Skimmer help

Hey guys,
I am new to the hobby. I just started out my 30g tank that I picked up from a member. Well I finally got around to starting the tank up. I also picked up the Skimmer from the member, I know it's not the greatest on the market but I paid 15 bucks so couldn't beat that. I started the skimmer yesterday, I cleaned up the skimmer and checked all the air lines, but some reason it won't stop bubbling.The bubbling I am walking about isn't the bubble on the skimmer, but when the water is exiting into the tank it's causing a massive bubble effect. The only way it will not bubble is if I keep the valve closed. I am hoping you guys will able to help me out. Thank you very much for your time and any helpful suggestions are appreciated.

you can get some kind of plastic container like the critter cages and fill it with carbon and floss and let the water spill into that or put a hose on the outlet just above your water level so it's gentle that should help your problem.
