also i ordered pt nuke for my distilled water do i need to mix something else with that as well ?

 

[phil178821]

unless you are going to spend $$$$$$$, and i mean major $$$$$, then the your best bet for performance is distilled water and an anti-algae, like pt-nuke. the only time you need something else is if you are mixing aluminum and copper. then you should get an anti corrosive, since the two will form a galvanic cell and corrode one another.

so pt nuke and distilled water was my first choice and some blue coolant to make water blue

thanks

thanks to everyone who helped me pick out the list

 

[phil178821]

very nice looking..

the only question i ahve for you..

what is in that cage?!?!?


and one more i guess.. is that how you plan on mounting your res? just remember, the easiest bleeding comes when the res is at the highest point in your loop. if thats the case, inverting during bleed may help. i did that
