Description
Seachem CupriSorb is a specialized resin designed to remove copper and other heavy metals from both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It is particularly effective for use after copper-based medications have been used, or in situations where copper levels need to be reduced quickly and efficiently. CupriSorb not only removes copper but also helps to eliminate other toxic metals such as zinc and lead, making it an essential tool for keeping your tank safe for fish, invertebrates, and plants.
Key Benefits:
- Effective Copper Removal: CupriSorb efficiently removes both ionic and chelated copper, which can be harmful to sensitive species like invertebrates.
- Recharges for Reuse: The resin can be regenerated using a simple acid treatment, allowing for multiple uses.
- Safe for All Aquariums: It works in both freshwater and saltwater setups and does not affect water quality or chemistry when used properly.
Dosage and How to Use:
- Placement: Place the resin in a filter bag or media reactor where water can flow through it.
- Amount: 250 mL of CupriSorb can treat up to 600 liters of water for heavy copper contamination.
- Regeneration: To regenerate, soak the resin in a solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and water, following Seachem’s guidelines for safe handling and reuse.
CupriSorb is a reliable option for maintaining a copper-free environment, especially after medicating with copper-based treatments or in tanks with sensitive species.
