Ik ik, Colored coolant is a bad path to choose in terms of maintenance and I should just go with distilled water... however I am going to be using acrylic tubing and I really want it to look amazing.

 

That is the colored coolant I am looking for just red.

You would just have to add dye to the water.

Mayhems Dye looks absolutely awesome, but I've heard it degrades quickly.

 

Although I've also heard the newer stuff lasts a lot longer, check them out, absolutely awesome looking dyes.

And that still gets a deep red affect? I am afraid it will look like a watered down red

put enough dye in, and the right kind of die and it should look at least close to solid if not solid.

That may be what I need, thanks :D

Check out this Geforce Garage video that shows how the dye works

Starts at 6:40 if the video doesn't start the auto play at 640 right.
