Hi!
I had a tank crash over the summer - a pump broke and released enough copper into my water to kill 99% of my coral. I used cuprisorb and quickly could no longer detect copper at all. I was going to start rebuilding.. but someone mentioned that live rock (I used MarcoRock) absorbs Copepr and so it might be a timebomb. If that's the case, I'd rather replace the rock.
Should I replace my live rock before starting to rebuild? Some coral did survive, you can see in this video, and so SOME of the exisitng rock would need to be reused - but the bulk of it _could_ be replaced if needed.
What do you think?
