Tips for My First Loop

Kenny477

Hello guys, I am creating my first custom loops, and would like tips on hardline tubing, construction, etc. Also, any good parts and videos to watch?

 

BTW, hardline vs. flexible??? I know hardline looks better, which I want but is it worth the cost and effort?

The result of hardline and flexible are the same but hardline, imo, looks so much more slick than flexible. If you have the money, then go for it.

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

hardine is much less convinient to maintain (pretty hard actually). i wouldn't recommend to new user but it does look sic. only thing you need to know is put the rez before the pump, otherwise filling is impossibly hard (some guy made that mistake and posted on the forums asking what was wrong last week).
