on pictures of water cooled systems some have florescent multi-colored tubing. i was just how this was achieved.

is the actual tubing different colored, designed to glow neon under cold cathode (or is it black light)?

separate loops, with the fluid different in each?

thanks for shedding some light on the subject! :) 

this is an example of what i mean:

From watching that vid, it looks like he used 3 different colored tubing - UV reactive (probably with distilled water - clear). So, it's the tubing that is reacting to UV light. There is clear liquid in his reservoirs that are illuminated with red, green, and blue LEDs.

ah, yes i think steady waters is right, the coloring only appears on tubing, not reservoir.
i see now that it can be achieved by either, reactive tubing is probably more practical for multi-colored single loops, but with different loops you could use different fluids. i think the vid had multi-loops, so he could have done either.

thanks!
