You could always get rid of the box. Just use a 90 degree pvc elbow, a short piece of pvc pipe, and a prefilter for a mag pump. It works pretty good and stops the microbubbles and it frees up some space. If you want to keep the box, can you raise the box up? You should have it close to the top of your water line.

You can cut the return hose so that it doesn't push the box down. Why is your hose for the pump and main unit so short? Did you cut it that short? I remember it had at least an inch or gap then the box won't be hitting the pump. I'd to turn the return hose elbow a little toward the side so that the box won't hit the pump.

Just extent the pump farther down with a longer piece of vinyl tubing.
