    My current setup consists of a copper tdx, eheim 250, BIX 120.1, fillport.

    Heopefully tomorrow i have a maze3 gpu block arriving for my radeon 9700.

    Seeing as i'll have to drain the system anyway, i want to change the dye from UV green to UV blue,is there a recommended way of flushing the dye out?

    can i just run tap water through it for a few minutes?

    thanks

    If you're draining the system, then yeah, just flush it out. Tapwater would probably be OK but it's better to used distilled.

    For that system I'd say a litre should be enough :thumb:

    Yeah but he's have to flush it out and then refill.
    Get a big 5 litre bottle its only a fiver and will last ages.

    When i'm trying to get rid of dye i connect it all up apart from 2 tubes.

    One tube goes onto a tap, turn tap on and run for a few minutes.
    Then flush through with distilled then fill properly, the connecting to the tap seems to help get rid of crap in the tubes
