Water changes are Tim's recommendation. If the source is removed, that works.

What specifically do you recommend to remove tin? How did the Cuprisorb work if you tried it?
Can i leave the cuprisorb media bags inside a filter sock? The tumble is hard, so wondering if its possible to be too rough causing the cuprisorb grind down?
Also, how long should I leave it there before it should absorb 16 micrograms of tin, based on Triton test?
Yes. I bought the product so had that information already.
I also have high Tin - 37ppm according to Triton. Still have not located the source.
Triton is milligram per liter correct? If so it’s ppmppm or ppb?

I’ll check and make sure it wasn’t in micrograms thanks!Not every measurement is mg/L. Look again.
Yep ppb, you're right. Still very high by the looks of it. Started the Cuprisorb tonight. There's also a smidgen of aluminum in the test. Guess my source could be some Al-Sn alloy? I don't know of any alloys like that though.Not every measurement is mg/L. Look again.

Ive posted this numerous times, in various posts over the past month to save others time.
Curpisorb did NOT reduce my tin level. I checked Triton ICP before and after 2 wks of aggressive usage.
Curpisorb did nothing. Do not expect it to change color either. I lived it and talked to Seachem directly about it.
Hello all,
I may have finally found the source of heavy metals. I just realized it this morning when I was cleaning my sump. I have a large filter sock that appears to have a metal, not plastic ring. The ring is soldered together and I've been using this filter sock for months. I assumed that the ring was a heavy duty plastic but I was wrong. The filter sock recently started showing rust stains. I hadn't even noticed that.
I bought the sock from dudadeisel.com. It is a 600 micron sock and isn't one that is typically used in an aquarium.
According to reference. com, solder alloys are made from a mixture of tin, lead, brass and silver. Solder made from tin and lead has a lower melting point, while brass and silver are used to create an alloy able to withstand higher temperatures. This metal ring hidden inside the cloth liner is making the cloth rusty right at the point where the ring is soldered together.
Wikipedia states "solder should also be resistant to oxidative and corrosive effects that would degrade the joint over time."
Does anybody know how well Acro’s handle cuprisorb??
I run in passively 24/7 in an SPS dominant tank with no issues.
Great to know! What’s your total water volume and how much do you use. Are you running in a reactor or mesh bag?
