Doinng a new loop annd would like it tidy.

What options do I have for reservoirs to go with my two d5 pumps please?

I dont want bay ones thannks.
 
Use the xres + pump mount thingy from EK. The only thing more sweet than 2 pumps is 2 pumps with reservoirs.

Reminds me of the bomb from die hard 3.
 
How does everybody top up their reservoirs? At the moment I have flexi pipe and pull it out when I'm refilling. Going acrylic so won't be an option as everything will be fixed.

So there must be to and tricks for filling I am missing?

Just unscrewing the top cap and fill directly from a bottle is the quickest method imo :D

Mines right above my psu :p

You could just just use a standard barb/compression fitting put it into the topcaps 1/4 and fulk via a funnel and some regular tubing.Then just remove it and put the stop plug back on once your done

Your leak test must have been nervy!
 
Wish em mass bigger res than 140s. I haven't worked it all out yet but my whole system is going to be around 1.5 litres. That will get sucked out of the res so quickly and I always prefer to have a bigger amount of water in the res

Its not so bad :cool: Made a perfectly sized pad out of kitchen towel,zipties and some padding from a GPU box, and sits on the psu during filling/bleeding on the off chance there is a leak

Yeah silly you cant just buy them as full complete tube in different sizes. Cost starts and get silly buying the smaller one with the right fitting for the d5 and then a bigger tube. Oh well. Its only money :P
 
I'm still not sure why you would have any issue filling the reservoir. Just fully take off the top (not just the tiny stop cap), put in some spare tubing and a funnel in the other and then fill.
