So I need to empty out my loop and refill it with new coolant. Im getting some mayhem xt-1 clear coolant and I want to add some Petra's Tech PT Nuke Cu Concentrated Biocide in there. I have an expandable AIO, the H220 which has a radiator with brass tubes. Can I mix that PT nuke with copper in and not destroy/corrode my brass tubes?

The Mayhems has a solution in there for corrosion, that putting in PT nuke is not gonna have any benefits what so ever. In fact it might hurt it. So no, just stick with the Mayhems, however don't go with the XT-1. Its over kill and its not gonna be useful for what you are trying to do. Go with the X1 solution.

May add the other bits of my system later on

I'm just using that mayhem stuff because I was given a free bottle. Why is it overkill/not useful? The PT stuff is for the biocide right, so wouldnt that be helpful

Using a bottle of Mayhems, whether its the concentrate or the premade stuff, will already have biocide in it already.
