Unsure what these "waves" are when filling with Aquacomputer's DP ultra clear

So I've leak tested my build that I've put back together and everything worked flawlessly. However, when I began filling with the actual coolant (type in title) I started seeing those waves within the coolant as it got sucked down. I don't think I should be worried since it's probably just some of the additives that are supposed to be in the coolant, but wanted to make 100% sure

Good news. GPU block definitely wasn't the issue

First is the pic from my post the other day asking what could be the cause of all the corrosion I was seeing in the system, and for now I still believe it was the rads, especially since the GPU plate seems to have suffered very little damage, with the only small spots being the ones I'm pointing to with the screwdriver. The rest are just water spots or dust that I'll be getting off as I finish cleaning.

Some features that I think would elevate the dynamic feel of the game

In particular, in open modes like Escalation.

Dynamic assistance/resupply request. For example, if a ship is running out of missiles, it sends out a call for someone to drop off a resupply crate. Same could go for AA positions.
Earning wingmen. As you rank up, you earn the ability to have some AI wingmen, scaling with rank. You would need to supply the aircraft with your own funds, but you also get credit for their kills.
Designating attacks. When you donate an army, you should get to tell them where to attack first.
Donating fleets. Should obviously be more expensive than ground armies.
Purchasing and placing bunkers/pillboxes/AA. Should be more expensive than dropping a vehicle yourself from the air.

I'm desperate for an answer, now

Images in order: intake fitting to the pump. GPU block. Flow indicator. Into reservoir from top, with filter.

Relevant parts: Alphacool rubber hoses, fittings, flow indicator, and GPU block. Heatkiller CPU block. 2 Bykski radiators. Aquacomputer D5 Next pump/reservoir combo, DP Ultra coolant..

I've made a few posts here over the past while about something dirtying up my system, with the most recent being the flow indicator totally stopping. At first it seemed that the indicator itself was just stuck, but after introducing a small air bubble into the loop, it got stuck in the GPU block just past the pump, so I know that's not the case.

Since I built the system I have had buildup like this slowly over time, so I did a cleaning cycle on it which had the whole thing looking brand new with Aquacomputer's loop cleaner. Now, it's built up like this in the system over just a couple months, and I have no idea why. The system as a whole is over a year old now.

If this is something corroding the system, I really need to know what it is so I can replace it ASAP. If not, then what could it possibly be? I'm currently draining the system for a deep clean, but I need to find the cause so that this isn't needed again.

How would you go about finding a potential clog?

As of today, I noticed my flow indicator spinning noticably slower. So I cleaned out the filter (which really didn't need it, but just in case), and put a little bit of loop cleaner I still had left over into the loop, with the idea that it would loosen whatever may be restricting flow and the filter would catch it.

However, after another hour it started slowing even more. The problem definitely isn't the pump itself, since adjusting the speed on it audibly ramps it up and down as it always has.

I already have some more cleaning and flushing solutions on the way, but I'm wondering if there's any more targeted steps I could take besides tearing the whole thing down if the loop cleaners don't work.

Glove support confirmed for H3VR 3

Just gotta wait 10 years and I'm sure it'll be prominently featured in a trailer
