Hey everyone! I'm a newbie to water cooling and I had a question:

I have 2 oz. purple ice in a half gallon of distilled water and i'm wondering if adding 2 oz of Prestone antifreeze would work as a biocide because i heard that alcohol can crack acrylic and that antifreeze might work as a biocide.

any suggested alternatives to use as a biocide (besides alcohol??) if the antifreeze doesn't work ?

note: my waterblock is a dtek tc-4 revision 2

Thank you!!!
