The title speaks for itself. The angle of this picture makes it look tighter than it actually is. The top corner of the pump is about 1/8" - 3/16" from the coupler. I might try and take a chunk out of the plastic pump housing.

P.S. The BFH is there for weight to keep the thing in place while the 5200 cures.

If you look real hard, you can see that I ran the wires through some heavy vinyl tube I had laying around. Just a little of my anal OCD kicking in. Should keep them from getting into trouble though.
