Rigid metal piping installed. Learning how to use the pipe cutter with precision took some practice. Had to order extra piping after I botched several pieces. I used pre-bent piping to avoid that mess.

Reservoir installed to make it easier to fill and top off loop. Distro plates aren't very easy to fill by themselves and this should help with pressure fluctuations if I put a relief valve on top of the reservoir.
