Soldato
I know it may take some work but I feel it would make a big difference to how neat the inside looks.

You have no idea how much work it's taken already
I think I can buy the basement plate and cut the pieces out to accommodate the tubes I already have in place?What I might do is cut some cardboard and put it down there and post a pic to see if it looks good with the acrylic where it is

Reordering an acrylic loop is a pain in the hole alright but it's better done now wheel in in the mindset then in a few weeks or months time when you need to tear the whole system down again.

It's not just the acrylic, but the pump and res combo too. I'd have to move the res up to fit the metal sheet in, which means the top acrylic would need resizing too. I'm better off cutting my own aluminium sheet to size and installing it I think. There are metal workshops next door to my work. Maybe I can ask them
Also if you watch the installation video you'll see it has to be fitted BEFORE the motherboard because of the angle you have to go at to install the thing. So yes. I'd have to tear the whole system down anyways. Not going to happen at this point. I'll either think of another way or leave it be. Remember the side panels are yet to go on. I'm painting them white with plastidip. Maybe it will looks nicer with the panels.

Another update. Added the UV lights to the build and I am currently awaiting more paint for the side panels and I am also building my own Acrylic basement lightbox! Not sure how the lightbox will turn out, but hope it will work!
