I'm not 100% certain I know what you mean by cloudy. To me cloudy and bubbly are two different things :-) Maybe a picture of the cloudy tank?
If you want to build bubble traps into your sump you will have to drain it and add additional baffles between your skimmer section and return section.
Here is an example of a bubble trap.
Bubbles will always tend to float to the surface, so in this picture, as the water flows over the first baffle, bubbles from your skimmer will mostly stay afloat as water travels down and under the second baffle. As water is forced to flow back up and over the third baffle so are any bubbles that may have made it through to this point.
And here is an actual application of the bubble trap.
