So i'm running a custom loop, but i'm not sure if i need anti corrosion additives or if dyes have them. here are my materials

cpu block: pure copper
radiator: alluminium layer fins and water tunnel
gpu block :electroless nickel (EN) plated electrolytic copper (ek-fc680 gtx)

please advice what should i add into my distilled water to keep stuff growing or corroding (and how long it will last too) preferably something from mayhems?

When you mention aluminum in your rad that worries me what rad are you using and is the fins just aluminium with the water channels and end tanks all brass/copper.

Galvanic corrosion with copper and aluminum mixed metal loops is a huge no-no for water cooling.

 

That aside, mayhem makes additive mixes.

 

X1 is a good general purpose additive and there isn't much reason to go pure distilled.
