Soap Bubbles In System =(

Take out all your watercooling and flush out the system, put new coolant in, and don't use any sort of lubricant that foams. Just force the tubes over the barbs and pop a clamp on em.
 
Clean out the whole system, you have to.

Take out all your parts and drain it, then run fresh water through it, rinse it out, and drain it again. Wash off all the barbs that you put soap on, and then put fresh coolant in, and you should be fine. Hopefully that will get all the soap out of the system.
 
Those "soap" bubbles look like normal coolant bubbles to me...

When I use antifreeze + water, it foams up like a bitch.

Just let the bubbles settle overnight, move the case so they all get out of the T line or Res, and add more water...
 
Mine foamed up like that, turning the pump down to 3 or so slowed the flow down enough to where the foam settled out in just about an hour and it was fine.

When you use soap on the barbs you just use a drop on your fingertip and smear it on the barb about 1/8" from the end and down towards the flare. The tubing will push the soap away from the flare and you should end up with the least amount in your coolant, if any.
 
Yeah I was just going under the assumption that you got some detergent in the line, i'd probably wait it out to see if its just the coolant being lame.

1.) What's a good way to get the tubing around the Nozzles? Do I just heat up the ends of the tubing or is there a better alternative?

On the really tough barbs, I boil up some water and dip the end of the tube down in there for a few seconds. Then just jam it on. If that doesn't work, smearing a drop of gun oil on the fitting makes it even easier.
 
that's not soap bubbles.

it's just bubbles.

let it run for a while and give your loop a place to release air
 
This will fix it! ;)

while the tubing is a PITA to get on, I was able to fit is using the "hot water" method.
 
I used the hot water method, although I put the ends of the tubing in hot (more than hand hot) water for 3+ minutes and it was still hard to put on :x
