Tube reservoir advice

[Hellbeard]

Hi.
Anyone got any experience with Koolace BYO (Build Your Own) Tube res?
Vortexing and micro bobbles and so on.?


If anyone got other recommendations for a Tube res approximately 250mm tall and a minimalistic / clean mounting style and preferably with lighting options, that would be great.

I found the BYO option to be a lot more expensive. Unfortunately the whole of the UK seems to be out of stock on the longer tubes, I need either a 250mm or 300mm (50mm DIA) asap but not having much luck, especially when they range from £12 to a ridiculous £33

like these?

koolance D5 (COV-RP450) pump cover, 200mmx 80mm tube/body and 80mm top

only drawback is a PITA to bleed. best to fill from bottom to top and evacuate the air from the
system. last time i used a vacuum pump to draw the coolant from the bottom and leech from
the top and it worked out well..

Is that wood? Keeping it rustic?
