I think I notcied that most/all of the people running straight water with no problems had entirely dark systems (no case windows, and no internal lighting to speak of).
Lots of questions, and no answers.

I've got 5 entries for tap water. 1 of them reports having a lot of sunlight, 1 with "some" sunlight (+ light from CCFL), 1 with dispersed sunlight, and 2 exposed to a 60W bulb.

The one with the CCFL reports a white deposit on the tubes, but only once they are dry.:shrug: Other than that, there's only the one with a lot of light, but he's got a cloudy fluid, possibly because he uses an odd additive: bandsaw coolant.
