True Butcher, but the first thing most users do is stick 1/2" barbs on pump inlet and run a fair bit of 1/2" tubing to the res. I suppose you meant this with "positioned correctly".

Q: Why don't reservoirs come with a 16mm barb to match the eheim 1250 inlet?
A: Because not everyone uses eheim pumps
Q: Why don't all pumps have bigger inlets?
A: Because all fittings, such as reservoirs, are 1/2"

Egg, chicken, egg, chicken (repeat)

PS: Yes, I know about 3/8" stuff, I was making a point.
PPS: I trust we've all seen that 350 inlet mod and its impact?
