nature's ocean live sand contains copper sulfate? is it reef safe???


Hello, I just bought a couple of bags of natures ocean live sand for my new 80gal and when reading through the list of essential trace elements it provides saw that copper sulfate was on the list. I havent put it in my tank yet cause I dont have evrthing else together. The only reason i bought this stuff and not the caribsea is because I had alot of store credit at petco. If anyone has any experience using this sand in thier reef please let me know. Thankx in advance!!

Here is a link to the sand http://www.naturesocean.com/bioactive.htm

I have some in my 29 gal. But it's only 3 months old. Fish, crabs and feather duster are doing ok so far. I'll let you know if I see any ill effects.

I have used this sand for my setup with no ill effects; tanks' been running 1 yr. +. I have soft and stony corals thriving. The amount of copper sulfate in the sand is very minimal and normal, not much different than other brands.

Happy Reefkeeping!

Andrew

Thank you for your help!!! I guess I will go ahead and use it. It just gave me a scare reading that on the bag.
