He is always in that pipe. I need to remove that pump. He backed up all the way down the pipe almost to the impeller. Its not plugged in because it is too powerful to be mounted with just an elbow outlet. When I first plugged it in it shot back and sucked up sand... shooting water 2 food up and out of my tank. (while silicone was curing, tank was half full) Only 1300 gph. heh!
