The anti-cyclone fitting thats in Bitspower reservoirs. Does it go on the bottom or on the top?

I put mine on the top where the water enters. It can go anywhere though.

Quick question. Don't mean to high jack the thread but this question doesn't deserve a whole new thread. When this RES says the top port should only be used for an external fill port, does that mean I can't have the coolant entering through the top of the RES at the end of my loop? That doesn't seem to have any reason to me.

I do it, I see no reason why not to, just remember you will want some sort of aqua pipe or water will fall in the top causing bubbles that will get in your pump. Also, to fill you need to take the top off which can be done just by unscrewing.

So basically I can but it isn't convenient. The RES will be in the back of an air 540 so I guess it won't be a big deal anyway. I didn't think about the coolant falling in. Thanks!

It's totally fine, actually better for draining since you have more open ports on the botton. Just filling kinda sucks. No problem!

I'm just gonna open the port I have split with a valve and tubing to my GPU from my front RAD. Hopefully that made sense. I have a 360 Rad in the front of the case with the ports towards the bottom. Then a Y split that goes to a valve and my GPU. So gravity will grain that pretty well.

Yeah, actually, I pull my pump to GPU tube out and that drains the whole thing except the res. Then I unscrew a port there and done lol.

Hopefully my "idea" does all of that with one valve!
