Best biocide?

Can anyone recommend a decent biocide I can add to the mayhems red coolant, had the loop set up 5 weeks but have had to drain it already and RMA the mobo because one of the dimm slots is u/s but the tubing has already discoloured quite a bit so will add a specialist biocide or even something I can get of the shelf in the shops.

TIA

Mayhems includes all the biocides as far as i know, i dont think there will be anything living in your loop if its full of mayhems. Maybe the discolouring is been caused by somthing else.

What tubing are you using? Is the discolouration due to biological stuff or plasticiser issues?

Red dyes tubing and if its x1 red, Xt1 red, Pastel red they all have biocide in them.

I'm using the Primochill Primoflex 13/10mm tubing, it just looks off colour, maybe it's stained because of the mayhems x1 fluid. Just remember my last loop getting a bit gopping on the inside looking like a pond lol
