Common sources of copper in reef tanks come from a faulty pump, broken wiring, biopellets, or from the tap water not being properly filtered by the RO/DI system.

To use the product, start by removing the carbon from your system, keep the skimmer running and run the detox for 3 days. During this phase the tank water will stay brownish in color from the organics present in the detox. This is harmless to the corals. Once fresh carbon is placed back in the system the brown color will be removed along with the heavy metals that are bound to it. This is the only product on the market that we know of that will remove copper down to undetectable levels on the Triton test. Please consult your Triton ICP-OES test results for the specific dosing requirements for your reef system
