What colour?

[Youngie1337]

Will be most likely be building my new first WC system near Mid-Feb. I was wondering what colour I should use in the coolant? I would like it UV and would anyone suggest a good FAN to brighten this coolant up?.

Also what hose/tubing is the best? And is it best to use the coil around the pipes?

Cheers

UV blue coolant with orange coils look cool

Tbh I wouldnt go with blue imo. I did and its a bit boring... get soemthing bright and eye catchign like orange or lellow

I personally like the red and black theme.

The coils round the pipes are there to stop them kinking - not all systems need them though. If you find that your pipes are kinking, then yes, you will need them

Orange is only good if you get orange UV tubing, as the coolant looks really washed out and frankly, quite bad.

And i agree, Red and black is great, but the red coolants you get, dont live up to what you would want, again, they are really washed out!

Only UV that works other than blue is green.

Uv red always goes pink, I dont use UV as it nearly always looks baaaaad!

Don't get UV liquid period. There's plenty of choice for UV tubing which is much more effective and requires less maintenance as dyes fade over a period of time.

QFT. UV tubing is so much better in that the colour you see is the colour you get and it covers over the barbs too

I use UV acid green with normal tubing.. Looks quite good under UV sticks.. But yeah UV tubing looks 10x better..
