Additives for water shaker bath

I have a water shaker bath (20 C) that gets alot of red iron corrosion, the metal looks like stainless (I will confirm later)

after cleaning

would adding K2CrO4 and or Na2MoO4 help prevent this

how much would I add 100ppm of each?

and would it be wise to adjust the pH aswell to alkaline or acid state

Hmmm scrap that after cleaning thers no visable corrison on the metal surfaces, its is probly just a brown bacterial sludge and built up tds from not being drained frequently enough.
