I'll probably be using about 5% AF in my next setup. The problem with glycol is its viscosity, something Cathar's jet "Storm" block dosen't like.
I also plan on using adding a buffer and indicator to keep the pH were I want it and to be albe to visually see when my pH is dropping beyond acceptable levels. Still have to research what I want in particular though.
I doubt I'll add an antibiotic. It probably wouldn't completely eradicate the bacteria and then you have bacteria resistant to that particular antibiotic and would proceed to grow abated.
This is why if you're ever on antibiotics, you’re on it for quite sometime. The doctors want to make sure all the bacteria is completely killed. If you cut the time short and some bacteria survived, you might then have to resort to a different, more powerful antibiotic. The same principle holds true to watercooling.
So I would stay away from antibiotics and go with a solution that doesn’t kill bacteria, just makes it a very hard place for bacteria to survive, much less grow. If you do go for an antibiotic route, make sure you use one sufficiently powerful and of a sufficient concentration. Otherwise you’ll just be making a antibiotic resistant-bacteria breeding ground.
