Alright, I knew soon or later I would be impetious and do something I'd regret.. It's not the end of the world but I would really like some imput on how I can mitigate any undue carnage to some astrea snails and blue leg-hermit crabs..HERE's THE SCENERIO......... I ordered some fiji cured live rock to cycle my 75g reef tank.. Since it was over 150$ I got free shipping and thought hell why not get some scavengers to go along.. So I ordered 25 snails and 25 hermits. Now, I know that you need to wait until the tank cycles but U see it was free shipping and I am greedy SOB, PLUS I have a preexisting SW FO tank and thought I could house these guys until the other tank cycles.. However, the tank has been dosed with COPPER in the past, 4-5 months ago I'd say, but i have been runing charcoal and a Chemi-pure in the interim.
Since I will be using 12g fuge in my new reef setup, I was thinking about moving these guys into that along with the old tanks CPR backpac and biomedia for colonizing bacteria. I have plumbed it so my fuge can be disengaged from the main display while the display cycles. What are your thoughts, any and all help will be appreciated.. You guys have a chance to save a life, how many people can say that when they wake up in the morning.. just kidding
