malachite green does it contain copper!!!
Now I am worried, my last setup up FW I used malachite green to treat my fish. I am now using this tank for my SW. i have read different reports saying it does contain copper and doesn't contain copper. Can someone tell for sure if it does or doesn't.

I'll go with spanky on this one. On all my fw tanks I had and I had quite a few I never used it because I n my opinion it just wasn't that good. For fw copper based products just can't be beat.
