Best tin remover?

[Reefing102]

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but wanted to get opinions on what the best or most efficient tin remover is. I have a feeling I know the source but can’t prove it so I wanted to run some form of tin remover to bring levels down and maybe track to see if levels rise.

So here’s my Tin as of my ICP test on 09/29

Things I’ve seen mentioned include poly filter, metasorb, cuprisorb, and GFO. So in your opinion, what would be the best if you had to choose one?

What size tank are we talking about?

Tin can be hard to make definitive statements about since it comes in many different chemical forms.

It’s a 40 gallon breeder with a canister filter.

The canister filter green plastic tubing being my suspected source of the tin as that’s the only new change before the crash other than a temporary move to a stock tank before the 40 breeder.

The tubing may well be the cause.

With that volume, a water change may be the easiest way.

Thanks! I’m looking into changing the tubing and doing a large water change
