I am beginning to question whether copper is the issue.He started the same time - what I understand - but it is not as easy as that - Alk, light and nutrients are coworkers in this equation. The absolute numbers of a single parameter are not necessarily the reason as they work together.
An other question - we have all concentrate on a deficiency problem but it may be the opposite. I know one compound that can cause algae free windows. How do your shrimps, hermits and snails do?

The company that I get my water from guarantees 0 TDS and a lot of UK reefers use it, There are fill stations dotted around the country.
I have been looking at ICP test results and have found about 10. 7 of them came back perfect, 1 had high silicates and the other 2 came back with high'ish levels of copper.
About 3 months ago I lost my BTA, it just went from being nice and healthy to slowly deteriorating. That would have been a couple of months after I started using the water. My shrimps, although alive and looking okay, now hide all day. They were always very active and have been for 18 months.
