Is there something that can be added to water to make it reflect different colors under black/UV light?

I know that Laundry Detergent glows under black light, try that in water and see if it works before it dilutes

Simple flourescent tempura paint from any craft store will mix with water for UV reactive effect. Used it for several black light shoots smile
