Triton test results shocked me

[AddictedtoSalt]

I recently sent in a water sample to Triton just for my own information and to verify my test kits.

I just received the results this morning and was shocked to find out that there is copper in my system.

The problem is its so low it doesn't register on my test kit.

After converting from ug/l to ppm the total is 0.004ppm.

Does anyone know at what concentration copper causes issues?

Could this be the cause of several problems I've been having including limited growth from my sps?

Yea I just added a poly filter also and tested with my test kit and get 0. Im wondering at what concentration copper causes problems

I think there are trace amounts of copper in sea water so that may not be an issue.

his question is upto how much copper until its a problem.

 

[xmas_one]

10-100 ppb is supposedly the threshold for corals.

So less than .o1 ppm copper is safe if my math is right.

 

[AddictedtoSalt]

Thats good to know.
That puts me at exactly 3.9244778 ppb

If a poly pad doesn't change color and the test kit reads 0, which do you think is correct? Triton or the other 2?

 

[lowbudget]

when i doubt polypad

 

[AddictedtoSalt]

I would say triton honestly.
Hobbiest kits and poly pads are only accurate to a specific range as we all know.

Thats correct and I am not sure at what levels copper is a issue.

How do we send in samples? This seems like a good idea to see if your kits are testing correctly.

Order a sample kit from Unique Corals and follow the directions.
Its $50 per kit, this includes postage and test results.
It gives you a ton of information.
For more info visit unique coral's website or Triton-lab.de

what im saying is when you are in doubt use a polypad

Yea better safe than sorry

Seachem Cupisorb in a fluidized reactor, or you can try the new detox product from Triton. I show high Aluminum in one tank and high Lithium in the other and still have no answer on how to lower. I did add Polypad and 1 liter of Cupisorb and will retest in a month.

Well I dont need to worry about this now since im moving and will be starting all over. Ill be able to redo a bunch of stuff thats been bugging me a little also. After its up and running im going to send in another sample and see where its all at
