5/8" 3/8" tubing question

Anyone got an example picture of this watercooling tubing? I would like to see the primochill clear 16/10mm tubing with colored coolant running in a system. :)

Visually, clear tube is clear tube. The only differences you notice between tubes is how easily it bends etc.

Primochill advanced lrt is really good tubing. Doesn't cave in, while bending very tightly, and doesn't plastisize, at least in my experience with it. Also, it look pretty damn good in bloodshed red

 

Just be warned, its a bit tighter then 3/8 id so it takes a lot of struggle to fit em on the barbs. But this is good since it will never leak cause its so tight. (That's what she said)

 

Also don't get colours fluid unless you want to clean out your loop every 3 months. Coloured tubing gives the same effect, but is far easier to maintain.

I use 1/2 inch tubing with 1/2 inch compression fitting and the tubing bends easily with no kinks.
