So my ATI water test showed some copper and some other metals in my tank. I have Ben running cuprasorb in a reactor and chemipure for the last four months and things are looking better. Today I found this...

It was my eshops probe holder. So I’m going to add some new chemi pure today. And watch the crap out of the acros. I’m still running three bags of cuprasorb. What do the sps people think? I may do a water change on the sump and clean it well tomorrow.

I just ran a magnet along the bottom of my sump. I got some nice chunks and some small dust pepper sized pieces. So tomorrow it’s clean out the sump day.

I'd continue running cuprisorb, do a couple large water changes and check all other magnets and pumps.
