I want this Ion res/pump but it's not very big at all. I kinda wanna get the res only version also and stack them in the same loop. I just like looking at a huge res lol. I know it will have no effect on performance...but does it sound like it would look okay? Also which one do you think should be the one I fill my loop through?

For what case? You say you like looking at a huge res res but you're going for a two small ones? I'm confused. Technically it should work, but where is your pump going?

Res size never matters unless you have a huge loop that may take forever to fill. Depending on how you use it, it seems like the top port would be used for filling like every res.

I feel like that isn't going to look very good but I could be wrong.  Are you trying to stack them vertically, or with each unit on its side?

Edit: obviously fill it from the highest point and put the pump so it's at the lowest point

780T. I guess I like lots of res space utilization if that makes sense lol. One tiny piss res doesn't do ity for me.

Yeah last bit there is kinda common sense I didn't think about lol...and yeah was gonna stack them and see how it looks. Ordered both yesterday so hoping for the best. Worst case scenario, I'll put one on each side and I think that would look very clean.

Cool, make sure to post some pics, I'd like to see how it looks.
