Cooper treatment with biopallets

ReefFresh · 01/12/2016, 09:41 AM

Hi
I in a middle of cooper treatment in my main tank. Does the biolallets in my reactor will be infected with cooper and will need a replacement in end of treatment?

I wouldn't think so. Although I'm assuming this system will continue to be fish only or FOWLER. Which is one of the best applications for bio pellets IMO.

remove the bioPELLETS if you've run copper in the system, unless you don't plan on keeping inverts.

If he is doing a copper treatment in his tank I would assume there are no plans for inverts.

The reason to replace the biopellets would be the same reason to replace all the rocks and sand. So if you are replacing all of that then yes the pellets too. If you are leaving all the rocks and sand in, then I don't see why you'd bother to change out the pellets.
