   |  Accidental CupriSorb in tank
I was just fixing the media holder thing, that I put CupriSorb in and some got into the tank(tablespoon maybe). I vacumned as much as I could out but I know that stuff is so small it's still in there. Will this hurt my tank? How, and, do I need to get it all out?? Any suggestions?? |

I wouldn't worry about it, it shouldn't hurt anything. | |

Did you see this? CupriSorb
Not sure if it will help but I know from expierence that they will answer e-mail questions quick.

Worked wonders for me... (1) No particulate release.
(2) No leachable or extractable monomers, ions (anions, cations), binders, or cross-linking agents.
(3) No desorption upon saturation.
(4) Linear absorption/adsorption chemical filtration properties.
(5) True color changes indicating filter function and replacement timing, i.e., blue - copper; red = iron; green = free copper ions; brown = normal organic loading; and black = heavy organic loading.
(6) Effective removal (absorption/adsorption) of low molecular weight organics, volatile organics, high molecular weight organics, and ultra-high molecular weight organics.
(7) Effective performance under adverse conditions such as water conditioners and slime coat restorers.
(8 ) Removal of chelated and non-chelated metal complexes.
(9) Guaranteed quality control by the actual media manufacturer (Poly-Bio-Marine)

Not real sure if copper was the problems to all my algae problems and my snails dieing a lot. I've tried everything and this was my last resort. I have lowered the time my lights are on and it seems to have helped a lot. I also am doing more water changes(1x per week) and even though there is still a little algae and cyano, I hear that's normal , now to keep it under control! Thanks for the info! Quote:

The cupisorb will not harm anything and the poly mat is not anywhere as good as the cupisorb and the Kent's metal polymer is the best I run a metal polymer all the time why not it cost nothing to run and will pull out some of the metal by products of the exhausted elements . that will build up and over load a tank.. The carbon can't do it all. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

I learned as a child from my old grandfather a life lesson after I opened my mouth on a subject I had little idea about during a conversation of two adults Back when kids where seen and not heard! "QUOTE" You *&^%^&*()( (*&^&*() Idiot its best to sometimes just stand there and look like a (*&*((*( fool and keep your mouth shut rather then open your )(*&*()( **&^^^& Mouth and remove all doubt ... Since that chewing out I never repeat anything I have read or talk about anything I don't no.. I only speak from experience.. I have always Ran my business and personal life by that simple rule .. It works LOL | |
