I just finished tubing up my build, it's using acrylic tubing, this is the loop order:
Cylinder Res > Pump (Tried both DDC 18w & PMP-500) > 240mm/60mm Rad > 2x GPU's in Parallel > Mobo Block > CPU > 360mm/60mm Rad > 360mm/60mm Rad > Flow Meter > Res
Now, the pump & 240mm rad are in the pedestal of my Caselabs M8, so the flow is being pushed upwards against gravity (the two 360 rads are in the roof), and the return goes back down and into the bottom of the reservoir

This is a video from a few days ago before I installed the pump, but you can see the loop order
My flow meter is a Koolance unit which sends it's data to my fan controller's LCD screen
It's reporting 2200rpm (which is 2.2L/m) initially, but then the flow rate gradually decreases down to under 900rpm (0.9L/m)
The Pump RPM stays constant at 4960, so the pump seems to be working perfectly (again, DDC 18w, with a Petra acetal top)
Should I add a second pump? I'm about to do it, just to see what happens
