Reservoir Colour Ideas?

hi everyone,
i`m basically planning a new build for the end of year,
i`ve decided to go with Alphacool Ultra Pure Water for my liquid and PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Bloody Red tubing
obviously by going through this path the only part of the WC loop that's going to show that its clear liquid i`m using is the res.

i`ve been thinking about using either leds for in my res or get a FrozenQ Liquid Fusion Red Reservoir,
Or a bitspower ice red but neither are showing enough of bloody red color
anyone has any experience using is or maybe have different method for me to achieve a bloody red res?
any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Why not use clear pipe and use a mayhems dye to colour the coolant blood red? Then you get your perfect colour throughout

Just be careful with the Mayhems... - they're more for show off not for real cooling...

Also, you can buy just simply distilled water from your grocery shop - don't need to pay the extra cash for the Alphacool coolant (which is exactly the same distilled water)...

Regarding the reservoir/original question, I would use some LEDs with a transparent reservoir...

Well you can also get a red reservoir. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_318_657&products_id...

I would really not use dye though, it's often known to gunk up loops.
