copper in Seachem Reef Plus

[gregzbobo]

I was reading the list of ingredients in this product and noticed it contains .0001%. From what I have understand, copper is BAD unless treating a fish in a bare tank for parasites/disease. Will using this product regularly add enough copper to eventually wipe out a tank or cause any other problems?

Simple answer - I believe is no.
Seawater contains .0001 micromoles/kilogram of copper.
Instant Ocean Saltmix contains 1.8 micromoles/kilogram of copper.
Coralife Saltmix contains 2.8 micromoles/kilogram of copper.
Information source is from the link below.
I can't confirm it's accuracy - but I have not reason to doubt it either, and find it to be very helpful.

Ok <wipes brow> phew. Thanks. I appreciate your answer. I guess it would be a bad idea for a company to market a product that could kill the organisms it is supposed to benefit. Speaking of which, is this product just red juice with a few fairly useless trace elements, or does it actually benefit organisms? I bought it mostly because of its iodine and as an occasional food soak.
