Default Tygon Tubing w/ DYE Question

Hi,

I have a quick Tygon Tubing Question for you Aqua Pimps. But first, I appreciate that I havne't been flamed for all my dumb questions about water cooling, which I really do appreciate.

So here is the question.

On my current / old water cooling setup, I was going the cheap route. I was using the 3/8 ID by 1/2OD tubing from Home Depot. It was the clear tubing. For my coolant, I was using Distilled Water, Water Wetter, and Red UV Dye from Sharka.

Well.. I am not sure whether it was the dye or water wetter, but the inside the tube became "RED".

The question I have is whether this will also occur w/ the Tygon tubing I'm going to be using?

I know Tygon are suppose to be resitant to stuff, but I wanted to know if it will resist being stained by the Water Wetter and Red Dye?

Oh.. also how much Water Wetter should I use for Distilled Water? I just followed the directions on teh bottle and use like a few caps per quart of water. Then I realized that is the direction for Automotive, not PC. So wanted to know if there is an optimal formula for PC Cooling?

I look forward to hearing from you pimps soon.

SAD
