Default First Water Cooler build

I know what many people have said about my particular choice and most may be true but it was an all in one easy to start system, that i can use and runs very well for me.
I got Thermaltake big water 760i
my only question at this point is about the coolant, i dont want green uv. my system is currently set up with multiple UV cathode tubes and blue/purple color scheme. so i am looking for quality coolant that will give me the same color or something that will complement that system. I also need to obtain several feet of Clear (or colored) tube to replace the green / yellow color tube that came with my water cooler. so far i have found a few but i dont want to trust any random google search for coolant. thanks for any help you can provide.

I would be careful with premade coolants. I had a really bad experience with Fluid XP+ where it created globs inside my waterblocks that made the temps really high.

It should be cheaper just to buy distilled water, uv dye, anti-corrosive, and biocide separately, and you will be able to make more of it than what you get in a premade bottle.

Personally I use Pentosin G11 as anticorrosive and PT_nuke biocide from petrastechshop.

+1 for Pentosin. Or you can buy a gallon at the local VW dealership. Same stuff larger quantity.
