I Read some threads on here about tin in various tubing used. I use the braided home depot tubing for my return which seems linked to tin.

Would running a small amount of cuprisorb all the time be beneficial? Or woukd it strip the water of necessary elements as well?

Cuprisorb is generally used to remove copper, seems to have mixed reports of helping with tin. I would not run it all the time in any case.

But a few moderate size water changes, and running some cuprisorb at the same time can't hurt.

Also, if you think that tubing is the source I'd replace it if you haven't already
