Copper kills inverts this is known.
Freshwater inverts are no different.
Has anyone put their fw shrimp water change into their top off water for their reef?
I was thinking about how beneficial a lack of water changes are in fw planted shrimp tanks, as the only hard element that sticks around without plants is iron, and there is usually some in the water change that sticks around, and that caulerpa asexual reproduction is inhibited in presence of both Fe2 and Fe3.
Im thinking that water change water from a fw shrimp tank could be great if fed directly into a macro algae housing refugium.
I have never tested it, but am fully prepared to do so in the coming weeks.
Any fellow double dipper ever done it?
