I've got an EK CPU Block/pump/radiators, Bykski Block, Alphacool fittings, and Corsair XL8 coolant. I don't believe any of the metals are causing this buildup. It's only been running water-cooled for just shy of a year. I did shake the radiators with distilled water prior to use. The EK Blocks seem to be the only pieces affected and the Bykski Block looks like new still.

What could be causing this discoloration/growth stuff? Should I use different coolant? Also the coolant was clear and now it's got a noticable blue tint to it for some reason (Some if still in the blocks and can be seen in the pic).
