I was able to reduce the bubbles a bit by having an exit hole in the discharge tube so that the air had somewhere to go (other than into the tank) as this slug of water came sloshing down the pipe. It never really eliminated them, though, and there was always bubbles throughout the entire surge.

I actually didn't mind them so much in the tank but the salt spray that they caused was getting everywhere. Although in the end it wasn't the reason I stopped using the surge device. But if there's a way to make that part of it better, I'm all for it, nonetheless. If you wouldn't mind looking up that RC thread, I'd love to see it. Thanks.
