Default Anybody else using the Leufkin Al. Water Tank?

I'm building my first watercooled setup, and I finally have most of the parts assembled. Its for a socketA Athlon Here's what I've got:
Leufkin Aluminum tank/pump combo
Dangerden copper waterblock for socketA
4"x4" stacked fin aluminium radiator

I'll eventually be adding a TEC as well, size to be determined, maybe somewhere in the 120watt range.

I got the tank/pump combo and poped off the cover. I noticed there was alot of fine aluminium shavings where the holes for the pump and outlet fittings had been mounted. I cleaned the interior off with some cleaner and a toothbrush then rinsed it out with water. I hooked up all the components on my workbench using some cheap tubing I had handy just to check all the main components for leakage of any kind. They're up and running just great now, but I'm noticing more of the fine aluminum particles clinging to the interior walls of the tubing in some areas. This makes me a bit nervous, to say the least. I've heard alot of good things about Leufkin's products, but in this case I'd say he needs to take a bit more care in the fit and finish of his products. I'll clean the tank out again after this test is complete and run it again, hopefully that will have gotten the lions share of junk out of the system. Anybody had any luck with adding an inline filter to your watercooler systems?
