Copper contamination from city water and copper pipes?
Hello, Just have a few questions if you have a couple minutes and don’t mind. << That is why we're here, go for it. >> I filled my 75 gal glass Oceanic RR tank for a test run with a hose that was directly connected to the copper pipes (city water) that runs throughout my house. The copper pipes are approx. 6 years old if that makes any difference. The tank has since been emptied and dried out to fix a few issues. Once all the issues have been resolved the final fill will be done with RODI water. My questions are……. – Was it safe for me to test with copper pipes and city tap water for a reef tank? << Sure, I use tap water exclusively. You can always run some copper remover to be safe, but I wouldn't be worried.
