I was looking to use Mayhems Aurora 2 Red Coolant but looking at reviews online people are saying that it only last about max a year and even some people are saying days then it starts to gunk up ur loop and stain really bad anyone used it are any thoughts ?
Aurora coolant in general is bad for everyday use and would only really use it for shows etc. And then Red coolant is a shit for clogging up your loop so .. if you pair the them together I can only imagine you shouting and swearing when it comes to cleaning your blocks etc
You shouldnt have coolant in your loop a year from ANY brand......
All coolant will stain if it has dyes. end.
'gunk' is algae growth - if its coloured its just been dyed by.... the dyes.
A lot of the time people with gunk are to blame themselves, people moaning about staining would moan about weak colours. When I built my first WC rig I used 5x more dye than advised to get the red I wanted...
If you want a perfect world go to sleep and dream about it because unless you are INSANELY anal about procedures etc that most people couldnt give a feck about its not going to happen.
Clear actually looks pretty sweet in some res's, teamed with a neutral white/black/chrome tube works for me. Plexi blocks and red translucent tube though is epic fail. Like most things it's all about balance and taste.
I have gone straight in with white coolant man love it although it can often be mistaken for so many different substances because the shade is a bit off white. It needs to be brighter for me to be happy
