Hello guys

I was using the Aquatube with my own homemade mount (taking 3 front bays),, looks cool,, so I went ahead and bought the "aquabay 1.5 body with screw set (without bezel!)"
This is supposed to let me mount the aquatube using 2 front bays.
I encountered a few details and I wanted to ask:

1- When I mount the Aquatube on the aquabay, It ended up tilted, so the 1/4 wholes that are supposed to be at the bottom, pointing to the ground, are now rotated about 30 degrees.
How that works? the system will never take advantage of the water that is below the level when the outlets are tilted. Basically I will have 30% of water on the reservoir but the pump wont suck it.

2- Because the outlets are tilted, the Tubemeter is also tilted 30 degrees, so it wont measure the level properly.

3- The aquabay is wrapping the aquatube around so close that now I cannot mount the fittings, (using bitspower compression). between the outlets and the aluminum from the aquabay there is so little space.

How you guys have this set up? Im scratching my head here, Im sure Im not in tune with the way this was designed.

Thanks a lot.

I would love to hear from Aquacomputer how the envisioned this design.
It looks very weird the way it works,, so, how is this?: if you install the Aquatube correctly, then you cannot install the cables on the tubemeter or the fittings and you need not two full bays, but four (top and bottom)????

I mean,,Im sure they used a 3D modeling software, simulated the connectors, etc before going into production with this.

(I hope I dont get a "the new reservoir doesnt have this problem" kind of answer)
