Default Black Water

Ok, so its finally time for me to oder my stuff... money's all ready and I have everything picked out. But Im trying to decide what color coolent I want. Originally I was inspired to do orange highlighter to go with my blue LED lights to give it a nice contrast, but I no longer want any bright color like that. So Ive decided on just straight black. I know I could easily just get black tubing but Im going to be using CD's Water Fall res and want the coolent to be black in there as well, something that just black tubing cant do for me. So I dont want the UV reactive coolent, it jsut turns it from Black to Clear. I just want black coolent, no frills, just black color. Anyone know where they sell it or how to make it or anything like that, or am I stuck using black tubing?

Both Feser and FluidXP make black coolant. Check out Performance PCs. As fair warning, it's a little on the costly side as far as coolant goes.

EDIT: Here are the specific Links:

FluidXP+ EXT "Phantom Black" $34.95

Feser One F1 Black/UV Blue $19.99

Here's mine:

That's interesting...I wonder if that would work. You'd have to use a hella ton of them to actually get it black and not the bluish color blank ink turns to when it's diluted. Wouldn't cost much to find out though. Good call!

thanx, btw i meant using those BMF sharpies. i think a good way to do it would be to buy some clear coolant and then pour that in a clean container and take like 5 sharpies ink thingy's squeeze them out in to the coolant then put the ink thingy's in there too for a day or 2 and see wat happens.
