I just went deeper on that thread... I noticed he has a false bottom. I was thinking about adding one the other day. I think it would really help with the bubbles. I'll probably put a bigger fixture in the bottom, along with another one, later on to drain better... But I went with the parts I had on hand for the moment. I added some creative tubing that helped with bubbles, for a current quick solve.
Not sure about a false bottom but there are so many variations of an ATS. The latest thing seems to be turning reactors into ATSs. I would think once you get some growth it will help stop the bubbles. In any case I have a bubble trap after my ATS so I’m not worried about it. Some people like to enclose the whole box in black acrylic so light can’t bleed out into the sump.
