resivoir -> resivoir -> loop ?

ok. heres the deal. i recently purchased my WC setup from DangerDen. i am very pleased with it, except my choice of resivoir. i chose a dual 3.5'' floppy bay resivoir because it would fit in my mid-tower, and i could easily check fluid levels by looking at the front of my case.

My Problem:
In order to fill my loop, i have to take the front facade of my case off, take my DVD drive out, then wedge a small funnel into the top of the res. Not very convenient.

My Porposed Solution?


having another resivoir, acting as a T-Line to my floppy bay resivoir. Mounted on the outside of the case, with tubing running to the inlet side of my current res.

Would this work? Would this act as a T-Line for my loop? Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Thank You.

Why not just run a regular T-line before the inlet to the reservoir. Make a hole in the top of the case for the fill port and do a t-line that way, I would think it would be cheaper or around the same price.

I have a simliar setup to that, but with no T-Line. It's a bit harder to fill/remove water but I plan on adding a T-Line/fillport right before my pump so water entering my loop will be more convient, as well as leaving.

If I recall correctly the resevoir will have 3 ports. one inlet one outlet and an extra, you can rig up a fill port to the extra port. On ebay there are some delrin fill ports which will not corrode, link:http://cgi.ebay.com/Bulkhead-fittin...ryZ80150QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thats a cheap fillport, I might grab for for my drain plug.

if the 3rd port is on top I'd say use it for your external res kinda like mine -



it'll probably take some time to bleed tho.

I say combine SF's idea and the original. Use a third barb on the res so that you don't have the extra restriction from the T, but instead of a second res, just use a T with a cap from the hardware store.

Keep it simple. Use either one or the other reservoir. No reason to use two.

for that to work, i'd have to move my DVD drive up a slot (directly underneath my rad) and find a barb that fits into the fill hole of my res.

Just in case you were wondering, its the Dual 3.5'' Floppy bay res from DangerDen. ill put a link up asap.
