    Its been 2 months, we are moving offices so i had to disassemble the loop anyways.
    i just opened the block and took a pic for you guys:


    i dont really see any changes compared to 2 months ago...
    theres a slight greenish color on the edge of the base and i noticed some white-ish green-ish stuff on the top of the waterblock:


    it looks like corroded aluminum and copper, so far, nothing to worry about though.
    considering that this loop has been running for 3 months im surprised how few corrosion signs ive seen so far.
    either corrosion really isnt that big a deal or the koolance anti corrosion additive is doing a really good job

    This is the koolance stuff im using:

    its also available in yellow/green red and purple i think, and its uv reactive too, not 100% sure about the latter, but according to google there are koolance uv reactive mixes. even if its not, to get uv reaction you only have to add a few drops of the right stuff, so... its easy to prepare your perfect h20 soup
