Question about cuprisorb

[Cory]

I bought cuprisorb and hypersorb by Seachem.

I think I accidentally renewed cuprisorb with bleach when its supposed to be done with acid. Is it ruined now? Thing is hypersorb needs bleach to regen, cuprisorb needs acid, and they look the same, so i bleached cuprisorb.

Personally I would throw it out. Compare the money you have tied up in your tank from fish to coral and it is not worth the risk of $10.00 to $15.00 worth of cuprisorb.

I'm not sure, but it might be chemically damaged.

Should i put a penny in some water with it and see if it turns blue?

It may not tell you how effective it will be , but I suppose it tells you if it is working at all.
