Only time ive ever seen those type issues is with premix coolants such as primochill ICE, Feser one, or Fluid XP. When used with distilled, the dye generally has no ill effects, i think it has to do with some of the corrosion inhibitors in those coolants.

no fancie colours cos its not worth it

Thats the way i do it, cheapest and provides the best temps, granted you are running a full copper/brass/nickel loop(otherwise you can get galvanic corrosion without corrosion inhibitors, but that really only affects cheap loops because most decent loops will be full copper/brass).

well the amount i paid for my setup it wants to be pure gold lol

Also, a good hint if you get that crap in your blocks and it wont come out with scrubbing/etc...run some distilled vinegar through your loop for a day or two.

I don't think putting an acid in your loop sounds like a good idea

Blue, simply because you have blue lights and nothing else is going to show up as good. If you had UV lights with blue fans, then I would definitely say go with UV green or red.
