I figured but just making sure because of placement. The leakshield will be top of the ultitube and basically level with the flt120 on the other side. I’m hoping it removes all the air from the other res but does the ultitube need to be higher up?
This can be a major problem when you have two reservoirs.If you have a leak, the leakshield actually causes air to be introduced into the loop.

This can be a major problem when you have two reservoirs.If you have a leak, the leakshield actually causes air to be introduced into the loop.
Depending on the location of the leak, the introduced air can empty the reservoir without the Leakshield, and pulling all water into the reservoir with the Leakshield attached.
If the Reservoir with the Leakshield cannot take in all the water from the other reservoir and overflows, the Leakshield cannot prevent the leak and is useless.
no offense taken
My idea was that, if the FLT is the highest reservoir, i would connect the standalone leak shield on its fill port.
It would work the same as on top of an ultitube as long as the inlet has access to air in the reservoir (not overfilled).

There is only one way to make the Leakshield work with two reservoirs. You must connect both reservoirs to the Leakshield at the same time.
Run a Hose from both reservoir tops, and use a T-Connector to connect both Hoses to the Leakshield.
All other solutions have their problems, and may not work reliable during an emergency.
Then you have to accept the fact that your leakshield can only protect 50% of your loop from a possible leak, if the pump is offline.This is an ultitube d5 with leakshield on top. How do you connect reservoir tops? It’s not possible to connect anything to leakshield top on ultitube.

I have an O11xl and a standard flt120 from Ek I was planning to use on the rear fan mount, but is this compatible in the system with leakshield ultitube d5? I want more water capacity but not sure if using that config will be ok with leakshield.
