Polyfilter Copper Test

jgranata13 · 03/29/2015, 11:54 AM

I got the tank that I use as my QT used and I'm not sure if the previous owners ever used copper in it. I've read that polyfilter will turn blue in the presence of copper; is that only a certain type or will any work? This is the one I use in my main tank. Any help is much appreciated.

Your picture is of nothing but a polyester filter/cleaning pad. Polyfilter is specially treated to remove variuos heavy metals
