I know this is an old post, but I just ordered a white box from @TaylorPilot! I'm going for the white background, even going to try to print white loc line and pump covers...

Finally got water in my new build, the Exotic 32" is working wonderfully! In my emergency test, with 2x Vectra M2s on full power, the overflow handled something like 3,000+ gph like a champ...completely silent. Don't plan to actually run it that fast, but good to know it handles it, and no noise at all!

...well except for the water flowing through the sock chamber like class 10 rapids... ;)
