I think i profanity removed up
I set up a quarantine tank for new fish I bought. We moving the new fish into my display tank I think I might have gotten some of the copper water from the bag in my tank.
I added a bag of activated carbon in my sump. How long will it take, if I did get copper in my tank, for my invertebrates and critters to start dieing? should I start to cry now? |

Just a gentle reminder. This is a family friendly board, creative spelling isn't rewarded here.
Thanks How much water are we talking about and what is your tank volume?

Fromwhat I have heard most of them die within a day or 2. I have a budy who bought used tank and did not know copper had been used in it and he added an anome to it and overnight it prety much just melted to nothing. Good luck and lets hope there is no copper in the main Tank Scott
