oh and if you didnt read through that post... one important thing when using fresh aluminum and redline/purpleice
its your discretion if this is good or not....
when the aluminum is being coated... the bubbles form on the aluminum, and they kinda stick to the aluminum and cause very small pitting. this only happens when the bubbles are in STILL water, and they are left for many hours.

now this pitting could be a good thing because it adds to surface area

if you dont want the pitting to occur (it is very very small pits.. but if you think its bad...) then just leave your pump on for 2+ days, that way the bubbles cant stick to the aluminum.
