Ok, i ran the numbers, and there is indeed a problem: the ratio of the hydraulic equivalent of the outlet area, to the tube ID, is about 2:1, which means that the coolant is indeed being sucked out.

I'd recomend either using a smaller tube, or a bigger cup. If you follow Cathar's graph (above) you'll have some good guidelines, for those dimensions/proportions.
so my options are.

bigger cups with 2mm tube. but i can only go upto 3mm cups and that would make the number of cups smaller in the same area and also reduce the flow yes.

smaller tube with 2,5mm cups wich i can do as i have the 1/16 tube and now have a 1/16 drill bit. i did dome tests and the tube is very tight and will require some force but that should mean i dont need to glue them in place and there will be no chance of them being of center to the cups.

thanks Ben
