Seachem Cuprisorb 500ml

Cuprisorb is a strong adsorbent of copper and heavy metals. Removes the copper faster and more effectively than carbon, therefore it is ideal in an emergency situation when we need to remove excess copper immediately. He pulls all types of copper from water, and if it is in constant use, also from a gravel or substrate. CUPRISORB Allows you to maintain invertebrates in tanks treated with copper by removing copper leaching from substrates.

Competitive products are not chelating products, but only cationic ionic resins. Such resins can remove copper from fresh water, but they are ineffective in salt water.

Recommendation:

Use 250 ml for every 600 l of water to remove up to 7500 mg (12 ppm) copper. Use in a filter bag. For best results, Cuprisorb should be placed in a place with a maximum flow of water directly on the bag. To remove undetectable copper leaching from the substrate, use Cuprisorb for a period of at least 2 weeks until copper ceases to be detectable by the tests. Use in a canocular filter, a chemical filtration module, a bucket filter, or in another filter with a large water flow. Exhaustion is visible by clear changes to the color of dark blue or black balls. Control the level of copper with tests. Cuprisorb can be regenerated and used again. Regeneration: pour 2 glasses of water and 1/2 glass of hydrochloric acid (available in swimming pool supplies. Pay attention to warnings placed on the acid container). It's best to do it outside, away from children. Soak for 1 hour, then rinse profusely. Repeat if necessary to restore the original color. Rinse abundantly, add sodium bicarbonate until it will start the foaming and rinse again. Cuprisorb is now ready for re-use. If the original color can not be restored after a few attempts to clean salt acid, rinse and repeat step with sodium bicarbonate and then regenerate like Purgen.
