Default Does your euroreef "gurgle"

Ok, so this is my first experience with a euroreef, RS135 to be exact. It has been running for 1.5 weeks and it has started to "gurgle" through the standpipe.. is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

My RS135 gurgled so I put the gate valve mod on, removed the little valve at the top of the venturi airline and it quieted way down.

i have not problem with my euroreef, but i find that they are next to impossible to adjust without the gatevalve. cant beat the performance for the price.

Mine gurgles from the adjustment tube, the airline is not bad.. just your typical sucking noise.
