    Its the plastercizer dude. Those of us that dont use aftermarket coolants, and dont use dyes or additives of any kind dont have this problem.

    Im using the same tubing ive used since the first build, and no clouding yet.

    The trick is once u set it up, DONT DRAIN IT.

    hmm...really?why not,if theres floaties caused by errosion of copper blocks,rad debris with water ripping threw it and u wanna flush em out.they will and can appear.i imagined draining or sucking with a shop vac like i do(takes 15 seconds tops)is fine then refill it.the inside of tubing doesnt have time to dry.anyways..

    naeku---what are you running liquid wise?

    the engy from tygon just called me btw...he said tygon r3603 has a higher water asboration rate then tygon 2075 but..only good til 50c or so.so u must keep it cooler.eg:no quad priming hittin 80 etc..

    he also said this sounds good- http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/feaqfaulpuwa.html with a drop or 2 of antibacterial drops from aquarium store.he said that sounds like a winner for running what were doing.WITH flushing every 6 months or less for optimal performance and degration prevention of inner walls crap buildup.

    i was explained to completely reuse the tubing by getting haze out is to autoclave it(steamed water)then dry heat...

    because when you drain, you then get additives to deposit along your walls which then accelerates it.

    Dye, well you know what a dye is, and i find it suprising that you guys didnt think it wouldnt dye your tubing.

    So if your the type to drain and fill more often, you really dont want any additives in it.

    I only run straight distilled with silver inside.
