LFS yellow water

[Eye H8 Empty V]

So the LFS I go to has yellow water in their fish only tanks. Is this because they are dosing with something like ruby reef rally? They said they're running copper but I tested the store water and it was only at 0.08ppm. I'm also testing with a Hannah checker which I think is only compatible with certain types of copper. Could the test have been skewed due to the yellow tint? There was little to no color change when adding the reagent. Or maybe it read 0.08ppm because of the yellow hue?

Thanks!

I'm almost sure they are not running copper, they may not know what the store does exactly, but my lfs does the same thing, their water in fish only is always yellow, although I'm not sure what it is, I assumed it was rally.

Copper would require allot of work for them to maintain and monitor, so I wouldn't think they are using copper, plus at that level it would be ineffective, and possibly cause a problem for customers and copper contamination if so.

Where is this? It's not the coral corral in Tampa is it?

It sounds like maybe Nitrofurazone in the water. Is it a bright yellow color or just a slight yellow tint?

It's kind of a pale yellow and even in a solo shot cup, which has a white interior, it's noticeable.
