Can a previously coppered fresh water tank be cleaned and used as a salt tank?
Hi gang, You are wonderful people for devoting so much time and information to the masses. I will try not to take up too much of your time. I checked through your site at this location http://www.wetwebmedia.com/copperfa.htm and learned a lot about copper treatment and what it can do to marine environments. I do have one question that I could not locate specific information on. I have a tank that was previously used for freshwater fish. I suspect some of my tank treatments during that time may have had copper in them but I don’t know for sure. I transitioned this tank over to a reef tank and later learned the implications copper can have on this type of life. In doing the transition, I had removed everything from the tank and cleaned the tank thoroughly and then dried it thoroughly. I started the reef tank from scratch with all new substrate, liverock and so on, except for one power filter that had been used on the fresh but was also thoroughly cleaned and reused in the marine setup.
