I don't believe it is a combination of things. That seems like the cop-out answer to go with. Wez is using XSPC tubing, which does not have anti-microbiological coating or agents. I doubt it's a bad batch of coolant because that would mean Wez needed to get a bad batch of straight water, and the same thing that went wrong with Snipers bad batch of blue coolant would have needed to go wrong with Wez's bad batch of water. It can't be heat because there are plenty of systems out there that run hot all the time, including that one fellow who said his system has run hot for 18 months with the Feser Blue with no issues at all! Lots of GTZ block users, only two seem to have this problem.

I don't think we'll ever get a clear answer on what is going wrong unless some samples are taken of the black gunk and blue floaty things, sent off to a lab for testing, and some professionals give an explanation as to what may be happening. If we can figure out exactly what is forming, then we can research what needs to take place for that to form. From there we could get an idea of what is actually taking place.

Sniipe/Wez: I'm not sure if you live close to a University, but you may be able to phone up the Science building, explain your problem, and maybe track down a Professor or Student willing to help you solve the mystery, either for free or a small fee. It's worth a shot, since theory-crafting and arguing will accomplish nothing but waste time.
