Hi all

Any idea what's going on here?

Tubing is xspc and fluid is Mayhems Pastel UV Lime/Yellow.

It looks like the tubing has reacted to the UV cathodes.

looks like its reacted on one side only? is the side where its gone a reddish colour where your uv light is?

Yup.

I've placed a bit of off cut tubing right beside the suspect uv cathode to see if it discolours. As avenged stated, it could be the combination of pastel + tubing + uv that's created the issue. If the tubing doesn't discolour on it's own I'll just go back to Mayhems X1.

I only got it when decorative UV lighting was very near Mayhems pastel. All other mayhems coolants have been absolutely fine.

That sounds like it then - you can see in the pic how close one of the cathodes is.
