How do you get Green UV dyed water really bright?
 
Ive seen pics with just water that looks like crap from the dump, and Ive seen glowing pipes of glory.

What is the secret to bright coolant? More dye? Good dye? More uv cold cathodes?

:shrug:

I used two UV CCFL lamps (one visible near my airtrap and one hidden on top)
I used quite expensive dye (25us$ from an AC company) and the mix (water + dye) should have a yellow-brownish color.

It doesn't come out of suspension at all...

As said I bought this dye from an airco installation company and the mix I made two years ago in a jar is still strongly glowing!

I bought some visible blue dye a couple of months ago from BeCooling but it doesn't glow as much as the green one, and it seems also not to glow as long as the green dye (although this seems to happen with most non green dyes).
