It takes time. You need constant use of an adsorbtion resin/media (Cuprisorb, carbon, cat & an ions, etc.) The copper is adsorbed (not absorbed) by the calcerous rocks. Over time the copper leaches its way back into the water column. You want your media to "catch" it before it is re-adsorbed...

And they thought this question would get past me... I will use plain English for this paragraph. UVs do NOT kill ick. They are great for viruses, bacteria, and algae, but ick is simply too large to be killed under normal applications. Think of a tanning bed (which is UV). A flea, louse, etc will...

Originally Posted by scoobydoo I think the copper will always be present now in the rock and you will continue to have problems with inverts. Fish only would be ok. That is correct. Don't throw it away, but inverts are out of the question for at least a year.

Metronidazole, available at good LFSs

All of your invertebrates on the rock probably died. The beneficial bacteria on/in your rock is probably fine, so the rock will still work as a filter. If you want any "critters" on your rock, you will need to re-establish the rock by adding some new live rock and allow the sponges, plants...

I didn't see any in those pics. Get more pics. The rash has Millepra written all over it.

That looks like a Milleopora (Fire Coral) burn. Are there any spots on the rock that resemble a "beige/khaki coralline algae" (made up for visual)? Can I see pics of polyps from different angles? Do a google image search on "fire coral"

Jump On That Deal!!!

I work in a public aquarium, and we don't have any.

I used Chemipure, but my arm didn't regenerate. I gotta take some lessons from seastars.

The Titan was in a 750 aggressive tank I maintain. A month later it went on a rampage and killed everyone. This fish "Moses" was by far, the most aggressive fish I have met.

I got 2 stitches, compliments of a Titan Trigger (B. viridicens)

Sounds like bait to me. Just kidding, do NOT release non-native animals.

I had a chunk of my arm taken off by an ocellaris. Nothing major, but then the gangrene set in.

If your serpant ate the chromis, it would show a deformity from where it is digesting the chromis. Coral Bandeds are very aggressive against other shrimp. I would blame the CBS for the shrimp, but I don't know about the chromis.
