SRC Member pospeh Posted September 20, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 20, 2003 Do not add copper-based medicine in the tank if you are planning to keep corals and inverterbrates. Once theyare in your tank, it will be very difficult to get the copper out. Copper will kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
