Does anybody have first hand experiencing removing copper from live rock and adding invertebrates? Don’t tell me what you think will happen, looking for what you actually observed. I have a lion fish with velvet and have to decide today wether the live rock stays or goes. It is an essential part of my bio filter and he is comfortable with how things are. It is going to be a stressful time on the big guy and I want him as comfortable as possible. On a side note he is dealing with it surprisingly well. Was covered in a dusting of velvet yesterday morning. I actually observed him shed his mucus membrane and with it every single parasite. Hundreds of them, unfortunately they are on his eyes and I fear I need to act quickly. He spends most of his time hiding or swimming into the heavy current. This is a fish that normally spends every waking moment at the top of the tank swimming around praying for food. He is still eating For now. Don’t buy live rock at petco and not quarantine it rookie move.
He is the only fish in the Aquarium, cleanup crew being relocated.
