It has to do with air in the sump. It’s not a bad think though. Personally would just leave it.

Check the return intake first.

Check return water level first!

Air is either getting into the return pump or one of the pipes/connections is letting air in. You need to locate the source and find where the air is coming from

This started happening to one of my tanks after I added a protein skimmer. Have you done that recently?

Yes, I added it 4 days ago and still no improvement

Try adjusting the skimmer make small adjustment and wait an hour. It was trial and error for me
