The pre-filter sponge could be trapping air, watch this video let me know if it helps!
Same concept i believe, removing the air will avoid the bubbles in the tank

Honestly that's not what that video is more or less depicting.....The prefilter sponge isn't causing the gurgling or air bubbles.....The turbulence of the water coming over is creating the bubbles and the gurgling sound you hear is far to common with a standard standpipe that is used there, and the air/water mix or ratio if you want to call it is incorrect.....So the air line tubing you see him adding to the standpipe adjust the air mix in the drain line.....
