1-Did you use distilled or tap water (or other water)?
Distilled water (only way to go IMO)

2-What type of tubing do you use? (Tygon specify grade, Clearflex, vinyl, silicone,...)
Clearflex – ½” ID

3-What anti-corrosion additive do you use? (Water Wetter, Hyperlube, Purple Ice, Zerex, Silkolene ProCCA, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, etc...)
Using Hydrx for this time around, was using Water Wetter but the smell was terrible!

4-What other additive, if any, did you use? (methyl alcohol, rubbing alcohol, Jet-Dry, soap, etc...)
5 – 6 drops of UV Reactive green dye

5-What amount of light reaches your coolant? (direct daily sunlight, UV from my X CCFL, none, etc...)
only light that my coolant gets is from the 2 ccl uv lights and 2 ccl green lights

6-How long have you been running with that solution? (First time, 6 months, 1 year, etc...
with this mixture – 2 months, but I change my coolant ever 3-4 months

7-Have you noticed any color changes in your coolant? (yes, turned green, grey, red, clear, etc...)
no color change noticable

8-What metals are exposed to the coolant? (Copper, raw aluminium, brass, stainless steel, Anodized Aluminium, all of the above, etc...)
copper, and brass is all

9-What are your results? (white deposit on tubes, some algae growth, everything OK, etc...)
after draining I do a tubing flush with distilled water, and the clearflex is still clear 
