Well now that my system is up and running I want to keep it clean.
I first flushed my geo-loop with a mix of distilled water and white vinegar. Then flushed it with a 50/50 mix of distilled water and 91% rubbing alcohol. Once I had it all together I filled the system with pure distilled water.
I was considering an algaecide but have been reading about using silver. I have a bunch of .999% silver bars and was thinking about just cutting a piece off of one of them and dropping it in the reservoir. Thoughts?

EDIT: The Monsoon fittings description states: "The barb (or base since it doesn't actually slide into the tube), features antimicrobial silver for performance enthusiasts who want the maximum thermal cooling power of Distilled or Deionized water without “gunk” build up". Is this just a gimmick or should I not worry about algae with these fittings?
