In 2002 I discovered, along with this wonderful site and a wealth of knowledge thereafre, copper in my tap water.
B/c I 1) filled the tank originally with tapwater (from my hose!!), 2) did topoffs with tapwater, and 3) did WC with tapwater, I found my only solution was to start over.
My 3 fish seemed to be fine. But I had zero growth on LR. I realized the problem when I couldn't keep a snail alive for more than 1 day. Oh, and like a pure newbie I put in an Anemone and Sea Urchin and saw them literally disappear within 12 hours.
Anyone else find this?
