I don't own one, but I'll take a shot here for you.  Your basic liquid cooling maintenance is pretty simple.  When your res drops below the 50% mark, refill.  Take it up to about 80% should be good.  That leaves plenty of room for any air.  Never fill all the way.

Unless you have a colored dye, you don't need to worry about gunk.  Algae on the other hand can be an issue, but a simple kill coil or a biocide will take care of that.  Should you feel the need, about once a year, drain your loop and refill it with free liquid.  You can contact DS to find out what brand they use if you'd like, or use one of your own.  Just be sure to do a nice clean flush, and refill.

Simple and easy.
