Question about a custom water loop for 2 gpus

Wow, so this is going to be hard to explain because I don't know how to add pictures.....
I got 2 powercolor r9 390x hybrids; took out the stock block/pump and replaced them with ek blocks.

Ok let me try to explain this....
The reservoir I am wanting to use is the monsoon mmrs. It will run vertically next to the gpus. I have about 11" 3/4 space to play with. My case is the thermaltake core x71 so I am using rads in the bottom bay.

The reservoir layout I am thinking about is pump at the bottom with 100mm tank which is attached to a 2 port attachment; then a 50mm tank with a 2 port attachment also; then another 50mm tank with 3 ports on top and 2 side ports. Try to picture that. The 100mm tank brings the 2 ports close to the first card, then on top of the 100mm tank the 50mm tank brings 2 ports close to the second card and the top 50mm tank is for the inlet/outlet.

Can I attach both the inlet and the outlet of the gpus to the 2 ports they align with and will this cause a vacuum where the pump is sucking water out of the reservoir so 1 or the ports for the gpu will be getting water sucked out of while the other port gets water sucked/pushed into it. Thus there is really no loop for the gpus it is just constantly sucking water out of the reservoir and into the gpu and back into the reservoir. The pump pumps water out of the reservoir into a series of radiators where the loop ends up at the top of the reservoir where the 3 top ports and 2 side ports are. So it exits the last radiator at the top of the reservoir and pushes the cold water into the top of 1 of the 3 ports. From there I have an extension and attached to that is a 10 multiport attachment so the cold water from the radiators is dispersed evenly throughout the reservoir.

So I will have 200mm worth of tank plus whatever the pump takes up, I guess like 50mm?? it should be a nice tight fit that fills out the area.

There is 1 360mmx45mm rad at the bottom and then 2 120x25 rads on the front(its the rads the cards came with figured I'd use them but might just get 1 240mm rad)

I hope someone can make sense of this lol. Grab your pens and draw a picture haha. I know this is not the most effecint way to cool it but I am doing it solely for looks. I am using 3/8 ptfe teflon steel braided tubes for the cards. My build is all black and stainless/chrome.

Thank you

What you want to do is called a parallel loop via your GPU's

You're going to be fine with the way you want to plan out your loop just make sure you're inlet and outlet ports are fed with coolant/distilled water or fluid(your choice).

I've gone through your post about 3 times and I'm yet having an issue since I feel you're loop could be more streamlined loop order wise. You can make a loop function and look efficient while doing so. Efficient on the eyes if I may add.
