I have seen some discussion (I think one thread involved Phaestus here, but I could be wrong) of turbulence pulling res air into the water flow. One suggestion was to put a sponge or other similar object in the top of the res so that it would break up any vortex action that would pull in air. Theory is that the water would then flow through the res smoothly w/o picking up air bubbles, but still let air seep out if need be. I haven't tried it, but the idea makes sense to me.

Just be sure that the sponge doesn't block the clear path between the inlet and outlet.
