Is it typical to hear a kind of gurgling from below the gravel?

no gurgling here...

I think it's just turbulence from the way I cut one or more of the slots. Or the up flow interacting with the down flow from the waterfall. There are a couple cool looking eddies

I actually split mine as well and put a valve on the bog input line. Been playing around with that a bit.

Like so.

I haven't finalized any connections yet because I want to try out a few different configurations for a couple weeks

Bog going to work!
