D5's w/ res in series.

[Panthols]

I'm thinking about combining my 2 loops into one. Both of my D5's have an EK top with a res connected to the inlet. Can I run the outlet of the first pump into the res attached to the second pump without any loss of head pressure?

I am doing the same, and it appears that you will need about 4" between the two pumps. Just my 2 cents.

Is there any particular reason for the 4" of space? I have the EK Multires attached to both pumps and was just thinking of going from the outlet to one of the side inlets on the reservoir. The combo's are mounted to the back of my MB tray and I didn't want to have to move anything.

Oh, and a little off topic, but I am running a d-tek Fuzion V1, DD MPC Chipset block, Koolance GTX 295 block (dual pcb) with a PA120.3 and MCR220. Throwing in a few koolance VL3N quick disconnects won't be a problem with flow, right?

Ditch one of the reservoirs, no need for two, otherwise it should be fine.

I wanted to do all of this with the least amount of work possible and leave everything basically where it is. Would I need to ditch the second res?

It'll be fine if you want them both as long as there is sufficient water in the the reservoirs. Don't leave a lot of air volume in each.

Run both serial with a dual top for the d5s, basically plays out as1 pump but really your getting the gains of 2 pumps, any reservoir will do

I already have everything mounted and running. I wanted to just drain, move a few tubes and refill. I really want one of those koolance bay res/pump combos but that's going to wait for my new build.
