You don't tell us about the brand /model of the cooler. Many cooling systems are closed loop and need no maintenance.

It is a custom loop. The rads are xspc ex140, alphacool 360mm st30, alphacool 480mm st30. The tubing is primochill primoflex advanced lrt uv blue. Does copper act as a natural anti biocide just like silver does? If I install everything fill it with distilled water and add an anti biocide and an anti corrosive in a couple weeks would that be fine?

Cant see any reason why you shouldn't do it, if the loops sealed then dust wont get in. Much better than having water sit in there for a week (stagnant water accelerates corrosion).
Just a precaution, dont hook up your pumps power while its set up (its probably wise to not have the front panel power button connected at all) as you wouldn't want someone to try and turn it on and burn out both your pump and everything that's on water.

My pc's wiring is completely disconnected for now. I am most likely to wait for the koolance liquid. I have my 360 and 140mm rads installed and I rinsed them out like a week ago, is it fine to just leave them or should I re rinse them before doing anything else?
