The first golden rule of reefkeeping is:
"Dont add anything metal to your tank"
This includes
-Hose clamps
-Pvc pipe connectors (salt creep drops into the tank tin)
-Algae magnets
-veggie clips
-Metal housings of lighting too close to the water surface.
Then
Iron oxide (impurities)
Aluminum oxide (releases aluminum)
Titanium (low grades have impurities)
Suspect's:
Rock not calcium carbonate
Black sand (some is metallic)
Anyone breaking the first golden rule?
