Submerged my MP10 dry side O.o

Deliberately...

Did you kill it?

Suppose this needs a pic.

Now why would you do that?

Yeah....

Nope

I've been looking for a way to do this for years. Once I clean the shroud the pump will be nearly invisible. No more ugly vortech on the side of the tank.

So how to you keep the dry side.....dry???

Oh, that's nice! Really a clean look. So, did you build some sort of pocket in the back end of the AIO that fits the dry side?

Kinda, I originally tried to make a box out of 3/16" acrylic but the overall combined thickness of the box + the glass was too thick for the MP10, and a 40 would be too powerful for the tank and take up too much of the center chamber. 

 

I've come up with an alternative I'll probably share after a few weeks of "proof-of-concept" I don't want people trying to duplicate this if its going to ruin a $250+ power head.

So far so good

Inquiring minds are waiting patiently.

Still running. Takes up a large chunk of my middle chamber which is a tad annoying since I also have a 4 probe holder in there but it's worth it for the aesthetics.

 

Btw replaced the bearings on this recently I'll post a tutorial on that. Not nearly as scary as I thoughthought.

Slight condensate build up. May need to do a bit of adjustment

It was still running and appears undamaged when I pulled it yesterday. Due to changing some things around in the rear chamber I had to pull it temporarily.
