I would guess the Corsair stuff is the same as HydrX since the rest of their system is all based on Swiftech.

I used the Aqua Computer ACfluid mixed with distilled water for about 6 months and it worked fine but it turned my tubes milky white with some sort of buildup. I probably used to much. I also thought it was anti-alge though, at least the place I bought it advertized it as such. The fact is that most of this anti corrosion stuff is toxic enough to kill any crawlies.

Based on my experience, I assume that all 'clear' anti-corrosive/anti-alge fluids will end up leaving deposits on your tubes turning them white.

Right now I'm using a mix of Sierra (propelyne) antifreeze and distilled, it seems to work very well and I have a hunch it's the same thing that Swiftech uses. It's green but it was the least offensive color antifreeze I could find. I wish I could locate some blue antifreeze.
