I keep hearing people say if you use copper you can never have invertebrates in there again, and it will affect corals, etc. I started my first marine tank in 2005 and it was a fowler. For that tank it got Cupramine whenever needed, and needless to say, at first I didn't QT fish so that product was used multiple times. I then decided to get into LPS so ran a bit larger amounts of carbon for a few months, then added LPS, then a full clean up crew, then came the SPS. Some of the older guys on here may remember my old tank, as it carried many rare fish as well as lots of hard to keep SPS. The leaching of copper that is always talked about never happened. I have seen the same results from many reefers that I dealt with. Maybe we were all lucky I guess . . .
