The drain to your sump has a lot of air coming down to your sump I would use a ball valve and reduce flow so the pipe is under water or full siphon. then you need a second drain for emergency. This is a way to eliminate air and the drain is silent.
As for bubble algae, yes an algae scrubber will remove the nutrients that all algae, including bubble algae, need to grow. The algae scrubber needs to be sized, built, and operated correctly, of course.
