I use antifreeze mixed with pure distilled water. It will take care of critter growth in your fluid and parts and also protect your parts from corrosion.

Mix it with green dye-lite for the glow effect.

BTW, I scoured the net for UV excited dye, and learned a few things. First off, there is no blue dye-lite, its just a blue dye, which isn't really UV excited. There is blue/white dye-lite, but its not a strong blue.

You can get bright blue UV excited dye, but the only places I could find it were from medical suppliers, and it was pretty expensive no matter where you found it. I forgot the name of the substance as its understood in the medical community (the blue stuff), but you can find it via a search engine if you type "UV excited blue dye".

I did find a site with both UV excited and non UV excited fluid dye that had reasonable prices (non-medical stuff). It had red and green UV excited, but the blue was again, not UV excited. You may be interested in getting some of that blue dye and adding the dye-lite bue/white to it, but then you would still need something to prevent corrosion and critter growth.
