i just set mine up guys. ive added distilled and anti-freeze . ive added quite a bit of antifreeze and yet my water color isnt quite to the antifreeze color yet.

would it do anything if i added more antifreeze? i just want a cool color but if it will hinder my cooling i can live.


and another one. should it fill the Tline all the way to the top?

A short answer to your fluids question...
Keep your Antifreeze/Distilled water concentration to around 10-15% Most
automotive antifreeze will actually hurt your temps if in high(er) concentrations.
If you feel that you need to add some color to your loop, just get a high quality
dye and you should be good.

Since I don't like to use any coloring, I am sure that there are others that could
help you out in that area. Anyone?


and another answer to the fill level..
if you fill it too full, the heat could expand the water and over the top it could go. probably not, but I personally would not take the chance. A little over Half way in a T-Line should be more than enough.
