Nice ! Gotta love that blue, glacier indeed.

 

Love the hard tubing for these build mods, myself I went function over form for my last WC build and went with standard black tubing mainly for ease and quick setup and due to the fact it was not meant for showing off haha. For my next build I really may have to consider going the hard tubing route. Out of interest what product did you use for the coolant coloring ? Again, this time round I went with nothing, one because you cannot see it and two I get nervous with the color additives as I hear bad things with regards to build up issues/gunk etc. I love low maintenance, so coloring was always a turn off for me. That being said most of the issues was back when Mayhems was having some issues, so it may be a moot point these days.

@ENTERPRISE I use Mayhem White Pastel UV Blue!

The fluid picks up the LED's really well, and with the addition of the UV led's firing from the front, it just pops!

 

I have one more build in the works that will be hardline, but then I will be making a pure softline build using the EK ZMT!

Project Blackout should be completed by the end of 2019!

Yeah it does pick up the LED's really well. Awesome, will look forward to both of those. As for the EK ZMT, I do not use that product specifically but in my current build I went for EPDM tubing. Oddly enough that product on EKWB's website is showing EOL, just as an FYI..but EPDM tubing is EPDM tubing at the end of the day, you can get it anywhere.
