Why were you treating with a copper based product?

The copper could seep into your rocks & cause it to leech copper into the water.

Corals & Inverts do not do well on copper, It's definetly some copper-esque colour

That looks like fairly typical "new tank uglies" to me.

Copper may have killed whatever was keeping it in check.

I’m sitting on $25k of copper that dropped to 15k but as I’m always say “Rome wasn’t build in one day either” ;)
