How'd you cover them? And that worked? How'd you get rid of it?

I used masking tape to cover everything. Removed any unnecessary metal. And did weekly water changes, triton test monthly to confirm reading lowered.

I have not seen any adverse effects from tin.
I have spoke with Triton about this also. Its just a metal that is tested for and typically from pvc.
