Copper?

Quick question...

I know copper is bad for invertebrates. If I have an RO/DI system which is reading a TDS of 0 can I assume that there is no copper in my water or should I get a copper test kit?

The water is fine. Unless you suspect another source of contamination, I would save your money (or better yet buy a coral with the money) and not buy a test kit.

Its perfectly typical for you to have copper pipes delivering water to your RODI system. I agree with thegrun.
