I have my setup up and running w/ my custom block I made. I'm using the steel mounting kit for the Maze2 from dangerden. My block is a little taller then most and I have a Y fitting joining the 2 outlets. These two things together make it a little tricky getting my one outlet line (coming off the Y) where I need it to be (the reservoir). Right now I just have the res outside my case w/ the side panel off. I have the springs tighten down to where they're almost fully compressed but there is still quite abit of flex when playing w/ the tubing.

I see three main options:
1) Using an L fitting right after the Y fitting. This would help alot in not bending my tubing so much, which would mean my block isn't being tweaked too bad.
2) Not joining my 2 outlets w/ the Y until just before my reservoir (or just getting rid of the Y all together and having two inlets into my res).
3) Mounting my block w/ out the springs and bending my outlet to the max w/ out kinkage.

I don't like 2 because that would mean more tubing hanging all around my case, and more clutter. And I would have to cut an extra hole in my res if I didn't join it back up w/ a Y. Although maybe this would work the best (hopefully I have enough tubing for it).
I don't like 1 that much because I know the L fitting will kill some flow (I have 5/8" fittings on most everything except the Y). Is using an L fitting that big of a deal, or should I not worry about the flow loss?
As for 3, mounting w/ no springs might be abit dangerous, and then on top of that I will have a 3" bend radius on my outlet. Am I just asking for trouble?

Please let me know what you think the best course of action is at this point and why. I am using clearflex60, pump is a maxijet1200 if anyone cares.
