I am going to experiment with everything possible this season to try to keep the 'Tainer water reservoir as pristine as possible.
Need to check-in with Ami and dice to see what potential impact the Ozone will have on the bio's like Actinovate. Goal is to kill the nasties, but not harm the good guys (or I will at least have to reapply the Actinovate more frequently). Small price to pay for a "clean house".

To keep your containers from over-heating have you thought of using Reflectix on the outside of your containers? I'm going to try them on my grow bags:

As for keeping your water clean...there really aren't any selective killers out there. Whatever you treat your container with is going to kill some good guys too. Hydroponic growers often treat their setups with hydrogen peroxide to keep the baddies down.
