Ok I’m about ready to take the plunge (bad choice of words) into water-cooling and have a simple question. I will be using the Asetek KT03-L30 kit and it does include a small amount of Anti-Algae Fluid (other than ¾ of it leaked all over the kit in shipping).

I see people mentioning they use anti-freeze. Is this plain old automotive anti-freeze AKA Zerex, Prestone or the likes? And also what ratio of distilled water to anti-freeze is about right?

If a person uses anti-freeze is some sort Anti-Algae Fluid still needed?

Can you tell I’m new at this? Your help is appreciated.
