I had to turn my mp-40 wes up by 2 lights to get the same flow after installing them. They can run without the front screen (I include a ring spacer to prevent backflow still) and it less restricted.
Let's see your custom mounting setups

Be really interested in seeing what you do with the Gyre covers and how it works out. Haha, for sure it will look better than pantyhose or zip tied screen.
On the covers you've made before did you do much design tweaking for flow rate, or just rely on upping the output of the pump?

It's a juggle between restricting flow and providing enough protection. Can't have both. They do restrict flow a lot less that the dirty foam that ecotech ships with the pumps.

Gyre screen came out looking good. Do you happen to have a picture of the screen on the Gyre? I'd like to see how you lined it up when it's on.

Thank's! Looks like the screen is pretty tight for clearance on the back, do you need to take it off to adjust the direction of flow on the head?
