Auora is meant to ONLY be used for show rigs, and is NOT meant for 24/7 water cooling use, as it has metal flake or some sort of additive in it that can be harmful to the components if left in for very long. I would get regular Mayhem's dye for your rig if it is for personal everyday use.

Go to whatever store you buy your stuff from (I'm assuming you're in the UK, and as I'm in the US I have no idea lol.) and look at the shades of Mayhem's red dyes they have in stock (Mayhem's actually has one called Blood Red, so you may want that), pick whatever one you like best and add it to distilled water per the instructions included with the dye bottle.

Ok as I'm sort of new to this is the anything else I need to put in the distilled water other than the dye as I have never done it before thank

Some people may say you need a biocide or a "kill coil" (basically a coiled piece of pure silver that helps prohibit algae and other nasty stuff from growing in your loop), but I say as long as the case (presuming it has a window on the side) isn't in direct sunlight, it shouldn't be a problem. You may want to get some biocide just in case, though. Mayhem's makes that too, so just look for it .

I'd go for clear tubing, just so you can add the red dye to it. Clear tubing w/ colored water makes it a lot easier when setting the loop up as far as getting bubbles out goes. Good luck . If you don't know already, I'd recommend getting 7/16" inner diameter hose with 1/2" barbs/fittings. This makes for clean looking, easy installation without the need for hose clamps.

I used to run distilled h2o and mayhems biocide on color tubing, but the tubing
colors are to "bright" so im trying the XSPC blood red on clear tubing. got red
advanced tubing for a backup.
if using the mayhems X1, XT1 or pastel, they already have inhibitors so no need
for coils or other biocides.

JayCobs asked an aquarium store owner about this a few days ago (for his
Suma Kuhl Build), and that guy said exactly this. As long as you don't have
enough sun light for algae to photosynthesize, they won't be able to grow.

And even if, where would they get the nutrients they need (i.e. primarily
Nitrogen)? It's really not that difficult, just basic biology. The only thing
you'd need to really worry is if you ran normal tap water (which has
enough nutrients in it) and provided enough light. Then there would most
likely be some green stuff growing in your loop.

I would wager an aquarium store owner knows pretty much most there is to
know about what can grow in water under what conditions. After all, there's
a lot of stuff that can kill your precious fish if you don't do things right.

Bacteria are slightly different in that they don't necessarily photosynthesize,
but even they would need something to feed on.
