This time I will fabricate my own reservoir.

It might be a mistake but I ordered the pebble finish lexan. Stuff is HIGH. $60 for a 24 x 48.

But Something about the way it looks seemed right.

Been thinking about how to make it look more "BioShock" wihtout adding non functional crap.

I like the fractal pattern suggestion. I love me some fractals.

Have you thought about Rad layout? The port layout on the 120.3 is on the same end no? So the tubing in the box will not be as smooth and dramatic as it was with the PA160.

I'll face the ports toward each other and use 3/8NPT MIP to 1/2" brass barb fittings and wire reinforced tubing. No hardlines this time.

I did order some 5/8 Barb QuickConnects made by Colder. Two Bulkhead fittings to mount to the box and two coupling inserts for the supply line. I seriously doubt the Iwaki will have a hard time with them

Thinking about doing some work to the extrusions to make them more "futuristic-retro" looking. Not sur what exactly but I am feeling my way toward it. Something AlienTribal to embellish the surface...or maybe just artistically "distressed" then polished.

I think the pebble finish Lexan will look nice with some subtle edge lighting. Thinking about tucking some EL Wire in the vertices. Not clear as to how the pebble surface Lexan looks having not used it before. It might be flat on one side and pebbled on the other..which means I could etch the flat side with some fractal like distractions...

At this point I have ordered all the parts so now must wait a bit.

Which is fine because I have a number of projects running.

It's a montage of a number of Fractals I generated. I was thinking a grayscale of a portion of that might look pretty interesting on a 2 x 12 end panel...



or maybe this.

That etched on a smooth end panel would be intense

CyberD, keep in mind that they are G3/8" fittings on the PA series, not NPT Just making sure. Sounds like a great build!
