Good evening everyone,
I am trying to introduce more flow into my tank and have a few spare powerheads that I have previously used in my qt tank. When the qt was complete, I soaked the powerheads in vinegar and bleach to sterilize them and also to help bind the copper that may have been on the pumps. I have read that vinegar helps with removing copper from certain aquarium equipment on here. I haven't had the pump in water for almost 3 months. Today I decided to put the pump into some rodi water and check the copper level. On my hannah checker it read .03 ppm of copper. Would that level be acceptable for reuse into my reef tank or, should I save up for another wave maker? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated and welcomed.
