dye colour lacking, ideas?

[Psypher5]

got some masterkleer tube and some clear/uv blue freser 1. Under uv it looks more, cloudy than "omg'z blu". Thinking some blue anti kink coils could enhance the overall look?

Or would it be better getting some dye and colouring the liquid (would that even work too well?)

u mean like so

feser blue with ac ryan anti kink coils and 7/16th master tubing

can try and get a uv pic if you want as well, i have found that all the uv caths out there dont shine as much as i would like

edit: do not add dye to the feser fluid as it well make in conductive and clog up your block and pump meaning you will have to clean your system again

please if you can, my ac ryan cathodes aint that "amazing" either, might be part of the problem

even freser / dtek dye?

using the same caths myself, i will take a picture tonight for you when my room is darker

even freser / dtek dye?

adding extra dye to a fluid like feser can clog up the block and pump as there is a fine powder substance in the fluid already so adding more via a dye bomb or something like that will just clog up your insides, if your not happy you could try a different fluid in your system(after cleaning out the old of course)

hmmmm, might re think my colour choice then cheers for the info mate (quite fancy a deep rich red, but heyho!)

 

[w3bbo]

Green is the easiest colour to 'glow'. Red is difficult to reproduce and usually comes out pink under UV. Have you considered coloured tubing instead of dye?

 

[Psypher5]

hmmm, is it possible to get a vivid colour dye on its own (without uv etc).

Rather keep/use this tube atm as its here ready to use.

 

[steveo]

yea like w3bbo says red is just not red at all on any fluid i have seen it always comes out pink or purple lol

 

[Psypher5]

pink is do able, with black anti kinks... doubt itd be a vivid/hot pink though

 

[steveo]

this is a copy of another post i did


this is the feser one red

and this is food colouring

not sure what the risks are of using distilled water and food colouring in regards to clogging up the block and pump possible some one with more no how can say

Psypher5 i have the same masterkleer tubing as you and the same Feser1 Clear/Uv Blue coolant. I bought some of the coloured dye feser do and added that. It even says on the bottle it can be mixed with a colour of the same to enhance it and the clear one.

I bought the blue dye so i could add it to either Feser Blue or, what we have, Feser Clear/Uv Blue.

o0o0o? You got it running through a loop yet? Be interested to see some pics.

POssible to do a small cut off of tube and show the differences with and wihtout the added dye?

 

[steveo]

ac ryan uv cath and feser uv blue and anti kink(only have the uv light in the bottom section

blue cath in the top uv cath in the bottom

 

[Psypher5]

that just plain coloured anti kinks? Doesn't look half bad really, blue cathode might be a bit strong o:

 

[steveo]

sorry thought it was the ac ryan antikink stuff its really primochill uv blue got it for £2.50 for 1m length the blue cath is only strong in a longish exposure from the camera
