Just a word of warning to anyone else building using this res! Just built my loop and began leak test - everything was fine till fluid reached a certain level and the reservoir spilled everywhere! :mad: Couldn't work out what it was straight away because I triple checked every damn fitting!

Turns out the problem is the pre drilled holes for LED in the back of the res had been cut too deep and two of the three are straight through the acrylic like a bleeding sieve!! Needless to say the res is about as much use as a chocolate teapot and I've posted in CS section. Means I can't build over the weekend and also that 3 of my brand new SP120's are soaked.

Absolutely unacceptable from a company charging nearly £60 for an item like this and they have the cheek to have a "QC CHECKED" type sticker in the box.

RANT OVER.

But seriously - worth checking if you buy one!
 
Nah luckily they weren't - only the pump was on a spare PSU thankfully - but it's another bottle of X1 I'll probably have to buy now! It's just not the sort of thing I thought to check. All of the fittings and g 1/4 plugs yes but not the depth of LED holes! If there was a seriously unimpressed emoji on here I'd be using it now.
 
I'm sure they will :). Always been a positive experience when I've been in contact(well for me. I'm sure there's groans of "o that mynight knob is whinging again" on the other side :D).
 
Ha ha ha honestly I've never needed to return anything - CS have been great pre sales so I'm hoping that they will be great post sales as well.
