Separating the pump and reservoir in the Thermaltake Tower 900.

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Thermaltake Tower 900 and having the pumps and reservoirs separated. I was originally going to put my stuff back into my Lian Li PC-V3000 with pass throughs (hence the separate parts) but decided against it since I haven’t really liked the case since I bought it. I already have two EK D5 pumps with Acetal tops, and two EK-RES 250s. I for the life of me can’t seem to find a way where I can mount the reservoirs in this case without them being threaded into the pump top as a combo, and I really don’t want to have to buy new ones. Any help is appreciated.

If you want to completely hide the pumps you can have the res in the front and pipe it to the back with the pumps, all you need to ensure is that the res is always before and maintains a higher fluid level than the pump for it to not run dry.
