Details
The Aquacomputer ULTITUBE 50 PRO Reservoir (34152) is a stand-alone tube reservoir with G1/4 connection threads, approx. 110 ml of coolant capacity and a 50 mm borosilicate glass tube. A pressure equalization membrane sits in the lid, and an RGBpx LED ring with 13 addressable LEDs comes with it. No pump and no fittings are included.

Borosilicate glass instead of acrylic
Every reservoir in the ULTITUBE series is equipped with a tube of borosilicate glass. Tube reservoirs are often made of acrylic glass (Plexiglas). In contrast to it, borosilicate glass has a very high hardness and scratch resistance, and Aquacomputer points to its excellent chemical and thermal resistance and very low thermal expansion. The tube's outer diameter is 65 mm with a wall thickness of 5 mm. Please note that in the ULTITUBE product name, the number 50/100/150/200 refers to the length of the glass tube in millimeters, so this one is 50 mm.
Metal rings made of black anodized aluminum are firmly connected to both ends of the glass, and they do not come into contact with the cooling medium. Base and lid are durable acetal, screwed to the tube. After unscrewing the cap there is a large opening, which makes filling the expansion tank easy.
Filter and seals
The bottom of the container holds an integrated filter element of fine stainless steel wire mesh. In addition to its function as a particle filter, it separates air bubbles from the coolant as well. The mesh is integrated into a molded rubber part, so it can be rinsed out under running water, for example tap water. The seal in the upper area of the glass tube is also a molded rubber part, designed for easy assembly. It is therefore securely positioned when the lid is screwed on.
Pressure equalization membrane (PRO version)
What sets the PRO version of the ULTITUBE apart is a gas exchange membrane integrated directly into the lid of the reservoir. Gases pass through the diaphragm, so pressure fluctuations caused by temperature changes are continuously compensated via the membrane. Coolant is not able to escape that way, while the internal pressure of the loop is being equalized with the ambient pressure. The same size without the membrane is the ULTITUBE 50 reservoir (34151).
RGBpx LED ring
The included RGBpx-compatible LED ring carries 13 individually addressable LEDs and can be used to effectively illuminate the reservoir. A connector at the end of the strip is there for connecting another RGBpx component in series. To operate the ring, an Aquacomputer control unit with an RGBpx output is required (e.g. the D5 NEXT, not included).
What the loop needs
Reservoir connections are not included, so please order suitable G1/4 fittings separately from our reservoir fittings section. A pump is needed elsewhere in the loop. Fastening material for mounting on a side/rear wall, or for vertical mounting on the bottom of the case, is included. For additional attachment of the expansion tank in the upper area of the glass tube, a rubber mounting ring with a stainless steel insert comes in the box too. The dimensions in the technical specifications are without the fastening material.
