List i came up with
1. hydrix / extreme duty? freezing pt? type of glycol? not a lot of info out there.. 2. zerex super coolant - uses ethelyone glycol...maxracer from another forum likes this...better than hydrix? freezing temp? do i need a water weter for this? 3. fesser one f1...low viscousity(water wetter? i guess) bit-tech reviewed it..(freezing temp? ) 4 primochill ice - 60F low freezing point(wow dice? maybe?) bigbruins has a review..but 5days later another review..totally failed it... 5 alphacool waterwetter ...just wanted to add this.. 6. Feser VS.C° Heat Carrier Liquid Coolant & Fluid Additive 45% ethyline glycol --this is what i'm really interested in...whats the freezing temp(-25 to-37C)..and does it need a water wetter? (specific heat: .84-.81)(water : 1)(viscosity is around 4.8-2.2)(water:1)(highviscosity-high head loss) (still thinking about this...and right concentration) 7. pt nuke...copper based anti algae...do ireally need this? my blocks are copper anyways... I need some info on these... ![]() objective: max performance at verylow temps..i'm planning to setup my rads outside for that winter icy weather.

Use water wetter if you want white strands of crap stuck in your pump impeller (no).
Premixed solutions will not have the specific heat capacity of of water mixed 9:1 distilled water to anti-freeze. Swiftech Hydrx is one fairly popular coolant additive, though Pentosin G11 is probably the most popular. Mix it 1:9 with distilled and a couple drops of PTnuke. If I can find it I'll post Ira-k's PDF on mixing coolant, otherwise you can wait for him to post it or PM asking for it. edit: this PDF covers a lot of setting up a WC loop, the coolant mixture is towards the bottom.

Mate go with the pentosin g11 from Petras it comes out real nice with some clear masterkeeler tubing especially under some nice UV's, i wouldnt go the g12 tho as its supposed to be red but comes out like a real pinkish colour..

u don't need a biocide if ur using pre-mixed coolant. but if ur running straight distilled, u should put it n there.
__________________regular anti-freeze should work. according 2 wiki, a 1:1 ratio will result n -40°F freezing temp.
