    A question on my water i will be using?

    Well i want to use feser/primochill blood red (bloodred because its not uv reactive)

    i have seen in the past gunk getting into your rads blocks etc.

    would distilled water+dye+pt nuke solve the problem in both loops(i going to use blue and red)

    i will be using colored tubing as well!

    What do use to connect a Danger den fillport at the top of the ek res?

    PT Nuke has not played well with dye in the past.

    It's gunked up for several people. Supposedly the newer formula doesn't gunk/doesn't gunk as easily, but I don't' know if that's true.

    i have my own reasons for using colored fluid+ colored tubing(i don't mind if it stains tubing because it will be red , the reason colored tubing is that the tygon clouds up and i don't want to be changing tubing)

    shazza was using 3 colors in his loops and i really don't think there would be any gunking

    the only fluid that dosnt gunk is premixed stiff like primochill, but its less thermally conductive than water and costs about 100x more than distiller water

    I'm currently using Feser One in all of my loops. BUT ... I have experience with gunking caused by past use of Fluid XP. I realize I'm taking a chance, but am willing to do so. For a first loop, I'd highly recommend sticking with distilled water and PT-Nuke.
