I experienced problems with my mold in my Set-n-Forget reservoir when I first purchased my cabinet. I quickly switched from the distilled water, wick system to the watersorb polymers. It worked great for a while, but I still had some issues reducing the RH in my humi. Then I switched to beads and never looked back.

Let us know how it works out for you. In lieu of copper, you can also add a small amount of grain alcohol to the polymers to inhibit the growth of mold.
