copper + LR?

[Viggen]

I received some fish last week & have coppersafe copper to put in the tank.  Should I keep the few pieces of LR in the tank (I have a wet/dry filter) or just PVC pipes and some dead rock that was treated with copper years ago?

i would say no, but let others chime in

Is the wet dry already in use (cycled) on another system?

If your going to dedicate that rock to QT use only, I say go for it.  It will contaminate it, and I wouldn't trust it in a reef setup again.

I would only use the PVC. The rock can make copper less effective by absorption where the pvc will not; and is by my opinion and others (that I have ask in the past) the best for cover durning copper treatment.

i didnt read the part that its going to be a qt tank, if that is all it will be used for, i see no harm. unless you are going to ever qt inverts then it might cause harm

thanks everyone..... I yanked the LR & did a copper dose last night.  Going to snag some bio-balls from my other tank to help speed up the cycling.... thanks

Sounds risky. Hope you don't loose all those fish.
