I got my first water cooling setup
I have bay res and when I turn it on, all the water rushing into the res creates lotta bubbles. almost like as if I have soap water.
water running through the tubes turns almost like milk.
water comes back to clear when I turn it off,
did I put too much water wetter?

How much did you put in? You don't need a whole lot, just a few tablespoons or capfulls worth. Should barely tint the water color.

Why put the res before the rad?

It shouldn't really matter where you put the res. Most people would put it before the pump though.

I had a similar problem with Laing D4 pump. Even with the reservoir being the last item in the loop directly before the pump, the flow was enough to create a lot of turbulence in the reservoir. My solution was to add as much water to the reservoir, thus minimizing the amount of air that can create bubbles. I used 3 caps of water wetter per 1 liter of water.
