Both blocks are nickel and rads are copper so you're fine.

That looks more greenish then brownish which would indicate copper in the system

So, is that a problem!?
According to SirConfused, that's fine...

Its fine to mix them however if they wernt fully cleaned the loop will still get dirty. did you put any additives in the loop?

Not sure that your supposed to put anything in with the xspc stuff however i wouldnt have thought it would cause an issue. My vote the blocks and rads wernt fully clean remember nickel block are only coated they are still copper underneath

Yes, after I added the Kill Coil, I realised that probably that wouldn't be necessary in the loop...
I'll keep an eye in the water for the next days, but for now that change in the color of the water shoudn't be a problem, right?

cant say that for certain, if theres metallic bits floating around it could cause issues for the pump
