Guys I have a Chillzilla counter flow wort chiller after I finish brewing I flush it with water and then fill it with star san for a short period. I dump the star san and camp the ends. I would like to fill the chiller with some liquid for long term storage but can't use star san long term as it will continue to eat the copper. I can't use plain water as it can develop mold or other things. I thought maybe a solution of iodophor would work and not eat the copper. What are your thoughts? What methods have any of you guys used?

I run hot (warm will work too) PBW through it to clean. Rinse with clean water, blow with co2 to dry. Cap ends and store. No need to store with liquid.

That is pretty much how I clean my extra serving lines.

I ruined one a few years ago by storing it with liquid in it.(Iodaphor/water). It froze and the inner tube split open. I was able to salvage some of it for other uses, but I store my new(er) one dry now.
