I'm putting a system together using a D-Tek Pro Core Radiator which appears to be copper and a Swiftech MCW5000-P. The inside of the Swiftech is copper on the plate and anodized aluminum in the chamber. (pic attached for anyone who may not have seen it)

My question is, is galvanic corrosion an issue with anodized aluminum or just bare?

Would the best bet to help in the preservation of the system to be to use distilled water, a splash of Water Wetter to fight corrosion, and a splash of anti-freeze to prevent algae? Watter Wetter isn't an anti-bacterial agent is it? It's just for corrosion.

Thanks for the help.
