Good question. Aeroponic cloning solution with ¼ to ½ strength nutrients mixed with plain RO water is common among growers. What do you use friend?

24hour old water
a few drops of silica
pH 5,5 - 6,5
diy Rez Cleaner
after about a week i add 1/3 dose of RootIt First Feed
And most important : cut clones from fresh growth

10ml of clonex per gallon seems excessive, typically I pour a bit from the bottle.. maybe 4-5 ml per almost two gallon.
I have trouble keeping the res below 78 or 80.. the ice bottle trick only lasts for a bit.

Good to know. I actually did start lower on a couple of the ingredients, but will be doing a lot of experimenting
I had an easy time with temp by just leaving mine in the corner of a normal room (~70°f). Seems to be good: weaker light, good humidity, and lower temp. Definitely too toasty near the mature plants.
I use about ten mL Clonex and pool shock.

you dont need clonex
i give em some nutrients after a week when the roots start to show , but thats only to prevent em from yellowing too much .

You don't need anything but water.

I tried many times at many temperatures and humidity, always lost them to fungus/slime/microbes of some sort

That's impressive!
I have brown algae (actually bacteria) in my tap water. Pool shock does wonders.
I fought slime for years.
I don't anymore.
It still messes with some seedlings' roots but nothing lives here if it can't drink the water.
I have some Pine Tar Gush that are half of the size of the Casey Jones x Sour Bubble BX and the Trainwreck x GG4 that are all the same age just because they are fighting the brown algae.
I've found that letting them establish a root system that can be left partially overground helps them defeat the algae with the new transplant.

Put your pump on a 15/15 on/off timer. Pump heats up water

If it's to hot you can just use an air bubbler with a large, flat stone instead of a pump and have the water level quite high. Works a treat

Yeah? I wasn't sure it could go without moisture for 15 min, I'll have to give it a shot. Thank you..

Plenty moist. Only way I run cloners.
I don't doubt that and offer congratulations... but I think that it probably differs from person to person.
Temperature coupled with natural humidity and such would be variant.
If you have clean water and hardened off your cuts/used gel and steer clear of higher temperatures then you should be good with plain pH balanced water.
I have lost cuts due to the on/off pump option.... however I believe that if you make sure that the cuts are ready to function as clones instead of mature plants then they are likely to be fine with fifteen minutes of no spray.

Anti microbial in general, I believe. It's chlorine based
Hydrogen peroxide is great for quick applications but it degrades/reacts quickly. You'd probably have to replace it every day.
