    Im trying to recreate the color of the coolant/tubing in this project log.

    I'm completely replacing the tubing in my system, its suseptable to caving in,and I'm looking for something more durable, and possibly a silicon material to give this milky effect to the coolant. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I don't know myself, but I think the builder of this system is on this forum. I'll have a look for his username so you can PM him.

    EDIT: I'm sure it's Pookeyhead, send him a PM. I would send you a link to his project log, but the only like I can find is broken. I hope this helps.

    I seen this pic in a thread about purple LEDs about a month back.


    I think to get the effect he's using UV lights and purple LEDs with UV blue coolant. I may be wrong though.

    ^^ That was Pookeyheads PC-70..

    IIRC, its just some 12" UV CCFL's and some distilled water with UV blue revelaing dye in there.

    Yeah that was my thread. It's long dead though :(


    I remember looking for this log a while ago. I think he used pink LEDs and purple coolant, with some UV cathodes/LEDs to highlight parts. I can't remember if the coolant was UV reactive though.
