Does copper seep into live rock or not? My hosp tank is medicated with "CopperSafe" made by Mardel Laboratories. In the instructions they say it stays in the water and does not seep into the substrate.But doesnt mention rock. I'd like to move the nice piece of rock into my 125 if possible. Any thoughts???????steve

If I were you w/ that new setup I wouldn't move it, copper does kill live rock, but if your not going to keep inverts or corals you could move it.

That's kinda what I was thinking,that if there was any it would be a small amount. But I do eventually plan on having inverts and corals.So I guess my hospital tank has a nice piece of live,or should I say,dead rock STEVE
