but see, regardless of how much water you have, the loop requires a FIXED amount of water to have a continuous loop with no air bubbles in order to get it to work... if you have more water, it just sits in the reservoir and gets used as needed... if you have too little water, it is basically a T-Line... so there is only so much you can decrease the amount of water...

efficiency of your loop will be dictated more by your flow rate of water and air flow over your radiator...

now i don't know if i make any sense... lol
LOL Yes you got it, that was the mistake I have been making, being the volume of water is fixed in a closed loop system you cant alter the proportion of air to the proportion of water without increasing or decreasing the air flow. Yay I think I got it now

I guess it's easy to get confused because natural tendency is to consider an open loop with unlimited water supply but when it is a closed loop and your dealing with a fixed volume of water everything changes.
