I have been on the search for a tube reservoir for about 2 months looking on manufacturer websites and other such as frozencpu.com. I am looking for a very specific pump, similar to XSPC reservoir the photon (http://www.frozencpu.com/..._D5_Vario.html#blank). I have a few very specific issues with the reservoir.
 
1. The internal LED tube, this wouldn't be a large issue except the darn "XSPC" blazed on it and showing blatantly.
2. I need the top of the reservoir to have 2 inputs
3. I also need 2 "out" flows from the bottom (1 to go to the block, 1 to drain the reservoir.
4. I would like the tube (if no LED) to be red instead of clear.
5. This is minor as I could work around it but the reservoir to only a total length of 150ish mm. This is probably not possible but would be nice.
 
So am I looking at a futile hope of finding a reservoir? Is there a way I could get a custom reservoir built?
 
Thank you

    You wouldn't be able to have 2 outs from a single tube res going 2 different places.  They are all setup for one in-one out.  Short of having something expensive made to section it off down the middle, using 2 seperate tubes is really your only option.

    ohh, wait...I didn't read your OP correctly.  Thought you were needing the 2nd line to run out to a different section of your loop.  If you need just one of the outs to be a drain, then any multi port res top/bottom like the EK X3 series would work.  Are the two ports in the top for a fill port and in-port from the loop?

    no you are right, I reviewed my message again and noticed i linked the wrong reservoir/pump (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21480/ex-pmp-263/XSPC_Photon_170_Tube_Glass_Cylinder_Reservoir_Pump_Combo_D5_Vario.html#blank) is what i need. not just a reservoir but a in-line pump/reservoir combo. It was about 10 at night when i wrote the message so its all messed up. Other reservoir/pump only have 1 output also.
     
    The 2 input at top is for return tube from the loop, and a fill line that will be going to the top of the case.
    The 2 output at the bottom is for out tube from the loop, and a drain line going to bottom of case.
     
    I hope you don't mind bluevert89, but your computer is actually a similiar chassis design (900d with coldzero plates) so i used your picture as a demo

    It would make things easier if they were together, not to mention cleaner. If I put the pump on the bottom plate (above the 480+240+psu) then I would have to extend the lines from the reservoirs to the pump and then to their radiators. As one of the lines is strictly the top 360 rad+cpu block+maybe motherboard block this would be quite the travel length. As there is so many different lines (gpu line, cpu line, fill line, and drain line) this would make things more difficult. Unfortunately I am stuck on the idea of 2 reservoirs. If you know a way that can do the pump and reservoir seperate and still look nice then I would like to see your idea.

    Well... Take an Alphacool tube res with the tube in the middle and take a male to male fitting and use an aftermarket top... Screw the Male to male in the pump and screw the single bottom thread from the end cap on the res onto the pump then you have a cheap combo solution....
