I'm reviewing my color options for the upcoming upgrade...
I stick to pure distilled water, biocide, and possibly a coil. No pastels or concentrates in the mix. For colors, I usually opt for colored tubing.
In short, I'm thinking about adding a simple UV-reactive chemical or additive to the water. It should only make the water/tubing glow purple or blue under UV light, but not affect clarity when the UV is off. That’s the goal.

There are visible fluorescent paints available for exterior use, such as:

http://www.clearneon.com/
Be cautious of possible chemical reactions if they mention potential issues (rare, but possible). Also, apply before installation and ensure adequate space around the connections.

Avoid altering the fluid directly; opt for fluorescent painted tubing or apply paint yourself. Ensure no additional substances are introduced beyond standard water quality controls.

Yes, I don't want to alter the water directly, but I was hoping it would appear visually striking if only the water emitted a glow without any other effects.
Outside of reactive tubing, I'm uncertain about what could achieve that.
Something comparable to this but using transparent tubing instead:

Thanks a lot for those links. The Wildfire invisible paint was exactly what I needed.
