Cupramine in Reef Tank

[mphammer]

Did I just kill my coral?
I grabbed the wrong feeding container and dumped about 5 tablespoons of cupramine water (testing at .5 ppm copper) and mysis into my display tank All in all my system is about 260 gallons.

No cuprisorb unfortunately. Could probably change about 40 gallons right now.
Silly mistake, cant believe it happened. Had that sinking feeling as soon as it hit the water lol

Just to clarify- the water that I added to the tank was testing at .5 ppm. That is not what my display tank is testing at now
So it seems like such a tiny amount compared to the volume of water.

Any copper is bad man. Really bad. Cuprisorb is your only hope.
