Mystic Fog is not UV reactive, it's designed to be an RGB diffuser. EK say it's UV reactive, but I've never seen it work.
Interesting.. ok thanks.
I've got a cablemod hybrid ready to fit this weekend anyway

give it a whirl and see what happens. Grim is correct though in saying lights are lights are lights, so as long as you don't cheap out with 2 dollar Chinesium you should be fine (that that there's much wrong with 2 dollar Chinesium 
)
)I've used mystic fog twice in my system. One from concentrate and more recently the premix. Both have been extremely disappointing, I see very little of the rgb goodness you see in the promo images and it's definitely not UV reactive.
The premix actually went clear after 2 days, I couldn't see any deposits in the fins of the heatsinks so I added a few drops of Mayhems UV green. At least it's UV reactive now.
I would avoid mystic fog personally, it's not mystic, it just looks like semen flowing through your pipes!
Regarding UV I use some UV led lights powered from USB. They have 3M tape which sticks well, a 2 pack cost 13 quid from the usual place. One reel goes round the front window my 5000x nicely.

The rgb reactivity in mine looks great can post some pictures of you want, and hasn't gone clear, 2 months so far - but my loop is all new parts, you may not have cleaned yours well enough first
Glad it works well in your system. The first time with the concentrate I could have flushed better, the second time with the premix that went clear, all components apart from the radiator and resevoir were new, and they were properly cleaned. Maybe some quality control issues in different batches, who knows.
