thats an idea. But if I'm gonna pull them off I'll just replace lol. Basicly I don't feel like tearing down and draining my system just cause the tubing is a little discolored. So am trying to find an easy way out.......although being watercooling...there never is an "easy" way

bleach is a bad idea for systems, at least in the quanities you're suggesting to perhaps remove the sediment from your tubing.
What corrosion inhibitor are you running? Cleaning the insides of the tubes may be your only choice although it doesnt seem like you are affected that much by the cloud with 25/30 temps

I can't imagine that would be healthy for the components in your system. And if you wanna clean them with a rag, I can't see it being done without disassembling anyway. If the looks matter that much to ya, I say drop the whole $10 and spend some time replacing your lines.

awesome, thanks a bunch its not really sediment or anything like that, just like the tubing is stained from the coolant that was used before. No biggy though. My temps are great (just got done playing BF2 for 5 hours and never got above 31*). SO..I'm just gonna deal with it
