I've been Liquid-Cooling my PC since January, and the Coolant has turned a Brownish, Oil-like Color. I know I probably should change the Fluid, but Why did this Happen?!?
I used the Green Coolant the Thermaltake Bigwater 735 came with!! It was a "UV Green" in Color, and Now its sort of like "10W-30", if I had to make a name for the Color...
So why would my Coolant turn to this Dark Color, in the first 6 Months of use?!?
Is this Normal?!?

That does not look normal. It looks like your coolant did not have anti-corrosion property and something is generating products of corrosion. Better clean/flush the system and replace with a better coolant. The UV orange long life automotive coolant from TEXACO has very good anti-corrosion property. It protects copper, aluminum, and iron.
