Is red water possible?

[Nick_Leo]

I want very dark red water in my loop when i upgrade and bassicaly i see everyone gets pink.
i see primochill utopia as blood red coolant any one use it or have recamindations on how to get dark red?

Yes

i mixed 3 parts fluid xp's "blood red" with one part of their "phantom black" in a squeeze bottle to get a darker color. otherwise the "blood red" just looks like koolaid red in the loop.

Or if you are not using XP or other such additives, a couple drops of food coloring will suffice, if you want a more "blood" color add a drop of blue. And I mean drops, too much will get pretty dark pretty damn fast. Start with a little, let it circulate then add more if needed. Very cheap solution.

PSA: FOOD COLORING WILL STAIN YOUR TUBING, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Try adding some black dye to it like an above poster said

 

[bradyapba]

thats exactly what i did to the loop above... food coloring... a few red drops, and 1 blue drop.

Use red tubing.. it gives the same effect without the hassle and cost of performance and using overpriced dyes and additives.

 

[Nick_Leo]

does it stain acrylic res and block tops?

 

[bradyapba]

it has not stained my res or block, only the tubing.

Yep, I'm using something REALLY cool:

Invisible blue UV dye
Red Food colouring and pentosin

.

It's blood red in the day, neon blue when the UV's on
