You could try some aquarium biocide.

Go see your pharmacist and ask for a bottle of Lugol solution. Around 5$ a bottle. Put only 1 drop in your loop.

Go on ebay and buy a 5$ 12 inches Pure Silver Wire 99.99% and twist it to make your own Killcoils.

Problem solved. And you can find all this locally.

A few mL of rubbing alcohol will also do the trick. Any source of alcohol, really, if it's pure enough.



Even Vodka. But that would be alcohol abuse

I just have a silver kill coil in mine, with no issues. It's been together for around seven/eight months or so now.

DON'T get sterling. It doesn't work as well.
