If i manually add water when the rodi filter is done making rodi water, and then add it to my tank, and the sump stops gurgling, it'll be ok right? The algae in my sump is ok?

Not sure if I'm understanding your situation properly.

So your return chamber is low and the return pump is sucking in air causing microbubbles in your display?

And you say your ato is working properly.

Have you tried adding more saltwater into the return chamber to increase the water level so your return isn't sucking air?

Also is the ato sensor in the return chamber of the sump?
