What about on an swc 200, is it fine to run the pump with the intake facing to 9 o'clock? If I try to cut the hose I probably couldn't get more then an inch out of it without it starting to kink. That's with the pump intake facing toward 6 o'clock.
 
I would still run the pump on the 200 facing down. I always had best luck with the intake down. Just have as little slack as you can in the tubing. And if your running the pw push in the reducer a few mm's. You will get more air that way. And 10" water depth works best with that guy as well.
 
I snapped a couple pics last night. Last 5 days or 50oz

Man did my wife get mad when i emptied it tonight.....accross the room she started gagging, then went and got out the febreez. Man i love messing with her.
 
Roscoe, it'll do well in 8" but if you throw it in 10" you'll gain a few scfh per pump. And if you push in the reducers and cut the line where its as tight as possible your pry going to get 35-36scfh per pump with the pw's.
