    RESERVOIR development

    Hi!

    I was wondering about the reservoirs...
    What could be added to make it more than multioptional.

    I am thinking this way...
    What do you think?

    The reservoir will be able to extend. with this link and another acrylic tube like on pictures...

    You already know what I think...

    Is not exactly what I had in mind, but this design offers more flexibility

    Good Idea. . Although since you pretty much have to mount them upright space would be a concern..

    Maybe a bottom that would allow you to connect 2 side by side?

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."

    This is what I came up with...

    Not that I re-invented the wheel or something because Eddy was already thinking on what he's posted here today BEFORE I asked him if he could make this as a one-off:


    By mrtoad at 2007-07-21

    The reason why I asked for it is because it should make tube routing easier, and because it should help with the issue of air bubbles being sucked back by the ing maelstrom.

    In my case space is not an issue because this is for my PC-343B, which I'm working on atm.

    Very nice, but do you think you will do a low profile square version like the swiftech micro, but with the barbs in the same position as your cylindrical res?

    A modular reservoir system would be great! Bottoms/tops/middle pieces could be made to work with all kinds of things....such as a bottom that fits over a DDC!

    why dont you make a 2 in 1 res for dual loop systems; a really tall one, maybe double the size of 2 150ml ones.

    then again, that would be really long and not fit in most cases.

    hey, how about a LEVITATING reservoir using magnets. heh, a revolving one would make flow better i bet.

    Anodized chrome copper tube maybe? Perhaps a better mounting system via hooks and the like without screws? Everytime I snap your acrylic res into those holders, I cringe. Just throwing ideas out there.

    A figure 8 bottom, to take two cylinders, for dual loop builds?
    Some sketchup models to download from your site would help us with planning our EK layouts.
    I want to be able to try this or that and be thinking about my build. Not having to think and model three reservoirs to see how they fit in my layout.

    I was thinking of making a ddc top that would have the thread for EK reservoir. So the acrilic tube would screwed on the DDC top.

    Eddy you should do some artistic resevoirs combined with uber performance (which you obviously have down). If you take ur stuff and combine with the appearance of TribalOVERKILLS stuff you would have a work of art.
