I use a mix of DIstilled water and Isoprophyl alchohol.
I have a mix of CHeap clear vinyl/plastic tubing and Copper tubing in my system and it is am all copper rig. No AL in it.
No Algae growth as of yet or at least none that is readily visible.
I am unsure of the exact mix on the alcohol though. I know it is less than half a standard size bottle to the 5 gallons though.
Wish I coul dbe more precise. This was my first WC rig and I have not been to accurate in my record keeping.
I have a new setup in the works that I hope to keep better resords fir the sak of experimentation coming up soon.
See the post about perfect WC cases to get the link to the cabinet I will be using. This new setup wqill be a self contained but still non portable rig due to the huge size of the cabinet.
I plan to have a custom Rad/Res built for it to mount on the back wall of it. I plan to use something in the nieghboorhood of 3" PVC (hopefully clear) on each side of a 2 loop radiator (2 separate cooling loops) fed directly by the outlets of the rad on each side
