was wondering if anyone knows of any clear or blue anti-corosive/anti-alge additive, i've always used water wetter in my systems but I don't want the pinkish water color it gives in the new system i'm building and everything I seem to find is either green or pink, neither of which are the colors I want, so far the only one i've found is Innovatek Protect Pro at frozencpu but it's out of stock and they don't know when they will get more in and I will need it fairly soon.

You can try VW/Audi anti-freeze (it's blue); just bought some for my water setup which I am installing today since I ran into about 1000000 problems last nite.

Well, Koolance coolant is blue and contains all the necessary anti corrosion and anti alge compounds. It is a rather potent mixture, so you could easily dilute it with plain old distilled water.

Look at This Coolant at cool-cases-usa.com It is UV reactive but looks transparent blue like windex under normal light also has anti corrosive in it.

Excellent, that's exactly what I'm doing today and I'm happy it looks that good.

CCUABIDExORxDIE, glad you are enjoying it

Try adding some blue dye to really make it a nice blue color. Got mine from cool-cases-usa.com.

yeah, something like that is good, mostly I just don't want it like green or pink when the computer is off, have UV dye for it so when it's on it will glow blue, where do you get VW antifreeze, only at a VW dealer, or do normal auto parts stores carry it?

They have a good deal here on Audi (blue) anti-freeze; you only have to buy it in a 1.5L quantity (instead of the 1 gal. that you almost always find), the price is relatively good, and they ship it really fast.
