Default Water Additives

I use all copper or brass in my cooling loops, and I don't have lights inside the case, and all the case sides are solid with no windows. I'm currently using distilled water/antifreeze.

Essentially, i want to stop using anti-freeze or other poisonous chemicals. I don't think corrosion will be an issue (or am I wrong?), but I assume I'll need something added to the water to prevent biologicals from infesting the system.

What is the current best practice in this regard?

There will be some corrosion anyway, and biological growth might still happen. Just reduced pace.
