ive never used ice packs i just turned the pump off intermittenly and let the water cool down on its own.So it is fine to throw ice cubes in your cloner rez to cool it down?

That's why I scrub and spray bleach/water mix (1:5) every four or five days, when I swap the water.The funk is slime in your res. Algae, and bacteria. Will lead to quick root rot. If your clone gets slime, it's about as good as gone.

My temps are always in check, and I've never had to use Hydrogaurd, but I'm in the habit of sterilizing everything. Nothing extensive, just a minute with Dawn and a sponge, and a quick spray of bleach.Lotta needless work, if you just control your temps and use hydroguard or gff...

Whatever trips your trigger, dude...
This is how I keep my cloner cool, when the roots have formed. A single frozen jug lasts the entire day. I have a couple inches of water in the bottom container. Much better contact with the cloner surfaces. My temp drops from 75 to 65, and stays there.

A towel provides insulation and keeps the jug frozen much longer

I just moved these two littles into mini dwc buckets, later into the tent. Same cooling applies.

Or-gro I tried using that yellow top home-depot or the other one, forget which, but it sucked so bad. Couldn't get it to stop leaking out the sides. I gave up on making my own because I couldn't find a plastic box that was right. Made dozens before in a different country and they all worked. For some reason American plastic boxes suck.
Yeah, but they're going in the 27-gallon totes in a couple weeks, when I move my JackH outside.You’ve got the manual cooling down, dude!
But those biggass netpots waste so much water....
I've always had issues with aerocloners leaking. It's why I only use bubble cloners.

Yep, you’ve got to install weatherstripping, in the lid, to seal them...basically, they need a gasket...
