Running a mightier pump outside the aquarium

[Fishyj]

I have a Mightyjet 326 pump that I would like to use on my Aquatop 13 bow tank. Unfortunately the pump fits too tight in the filter area and vibrates. I was wondering if I could mount this outside the tank and run hoses into the filter area. The only other way to get more flow in the display is to mount a pump in there and space is limited. Any suggestions?

It would work fine.. I’d place it in a Tupperware or something just in case it ever decided it wanted to drip or leak.

Might be hard to get it primed. Unless I'm not understanding the question.
