Nope. I would use distilled water with a silver kill coil in your reservoir. Then use colored tubing and LED's for effects.
Hi thanks, but If I decide use Mayhems x1 do I need to concern about corrosion? Compare to distilled water + biocide what disadvantages x1 have? What about the Alphacool Ultra Pure Water, is this products good to use?

Well, anything you add to distilled water will make it less thermally conductive. For corrosion, just make sure that the metals you are using are about the same on the galvanic corrosion index: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion. All coolants are essentially distilled water + glycerol. Alphacool ultra pure distilled water is overpriced. All you need is distilled water from any source. Walmart sells them in 1 gallon tanks for <10 USD. There is no such thing as "non-electrically conductive coolant", as over time, bits of metal from your blocks will mix in and make the coolant conductive.
