In swimming pool maintenance, electrical devices are used to transfer copper into water treated. However, I got a double dose of contamination into 5yr mature 120G mixed garden, when power cord pulled out of epoxied MaxiJet powerhead which supplied reverse flow into plenum under 2” aragonite substrate. This happened while away for 2 weeks. No fish were lost, but every urchin and 100% of rock anemones & BTA are gone. I added an extra air pump and much utilitarian Caulerpa Prolifera was brought in to absorb organics & heavy metals, performed two 50G water changes and running activated carbon thru additional Aquaclear 110 HOB. I also circulating water between 5yr mature 120G display and 25yr mature 75G display.
PS: I am behind on chores and cleaning aquarium glass is low on the list today. I have toooo many tanks set up. Just did release Creamcycle Mollies into 30G Macro Lagoon.
