with a D5 i'd have thought you would still get more than ample flow for the storm to perform well (course an apogee is slightly cheaper....)
'course it's all contingent on finding 90degree fittings with a suitable thread either way...

The D5 may be able to handle it but the storm and mp-05 (my alternate since the storm is pricey now) are far more dependent on flow than the apogee. That's the key reason I'm going to switch over, I'd rather not risk having too little flow to the blocks even if it seems 99% okay to run the system like that.
