uppree Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi, I made a grave mistake putting a brass connector to my pump a week ago. My corals were dying, and I cannot figure out why. I took all of my corals to a friend tank. Right now, I treat the tank with Seachem Cuprisorb. I read from a lot of sites that this might not be enough, and I might have to restart over my tank dumping all the LR and LS. The pictures were taken a week before I replace the pump connector. Thanks, Up Link to comment
ndrobey Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 You can probably get away with big water changes. Link to comment
uppree Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I did change water, Ndrobey. It is not that effective either. Any one else has this kind of experience to share? Thanks Link to comment

NorthGaHillbilly Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Poly Pad filters.+1 I think thy will show green or blue when absorbing copper, keep running them till you see no more color change Link to comment
Bingo1213 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Have you performed a copper test? That would help us know how much got in the water. I know API makes a descent one that the Petco's in my area carry. If they don't carry it, they will often have a store set if you take your water in to them. I know this from working there.

uppree Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I test for copper and it shows 0 ppm with the API kit. I might get some coral back again and report to you guys. Thanks Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I test for copper and it shows 0 ppm with the API kit. I might get some coral back again and report to you guys. Thanks I would suggest getting a poly pad either way, to run for a while to be safe Link to comment

NorthGaHillbilly Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yes I agree! But good it is testing at zero! no doubt about that. A good friend uses a brass fitting on his RO storage container, but hasent seen any negative results... yet... so I expect you caught it in time Link to comment
uppree Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Is Seachem Cuprisorb not enough? http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/CupriSorb.html They advertise it as a specific copper filter. Thanks Link to comment
