Hows this for a first timer?
 

Hello.

I was wondering if there was anything in my setup that was hindering its performance.
My pumps mounted in an unusual way compared to what I'm used to seeing. It fitted very nicely like this though.

The res sitting there on my desk is temporary. I will be putting in one of these...

...when they are brought into the country (.nz).
It will be located vertically in the 2X80mm fan exaust mounts at the back of the case next to my WB. Is that an okay location?

I have also never seen a video demonstrating flowrate. Here's one I took of my 1048 pumping. I have no flow meter so this is the only way I can compare. Is this okay? (1.7mb)
