Used Tygon R3400 black tubing for my last 2 rebuilds but looking at going for some red tubing for my next build, Tygon don't seem to do coloured so what are good makes ?
It will be 3/8" ID - 1/2" OD
Been looking at the ones below, anyone used these and how good do they look and what are they like to work with ?

Primochill PrimoFlex Pro LRT
Masterkleer
Alphacool HF
 
Have used both the primochill primoflex and masterkleer, the primochill does bend better and doesn't collapse as easily. Both are good though and am currently using masterkleer. Are you after a particular colour or any uv?
 
Just red, if it's UV all the better, the Primochill is UV red and it was the one i was looking at most.
 
If you want uv lighting i'd suggest high density flexlight leds, they really are amazing and make cathodes look very dim. Here is some of my clear uv tubing with the leds

I'm sure the primochill uv red will be perfect, if your not sure some of the watercooling sites actually do a tubing samples pack for about £5 as well.

My old loop was uv red tubing, I can't remember if it was Primochill or not though. Will go and search my order history for which make it was. It was 1/2 id 3/4 od but was alright, not as flexible as the XSPC tubing I have now though. Also the uv glow was more orange but it did look good :) If it was primochill, can post some pictures up if you want to see what it looks like.

Edit: Was Masterkleer I had, not primochill. I can still find out pictures of it if you want though :)

Masterkleer clear tubing is superb, however. if you want coloured tubing, the LRT is good too
