The last several tank examples were examples of unresolved cycle analyses. the aquarium keeper disagreed with my finding (that every cycle is safe, it's why your fish are living)
those were posted so we can keep the focus simple:
-what does the full tank shot look like, does it look like a crashing/dying reef or a living reef, snapped in time?
-what does fish distribution look like> we've been discussing it for pages on end here. stressed, burned fish hover at the top and can't breathe or they flash around the tank wildly and die on the bottom. obvious bad happens when ammonia is truly backed up,
The coming pages we will get back to collecting examples of folks adhering to updated cycling science and managing fish disease using fish disease protocols but before we close out the noncompliant's page lol I wanted to post this gem.
this massive $$$$$$$ tank ran heavy copper for weeks on end and could not kill this biofilter, the bacteria on the rocks
and several people are chiming in they've done the same, and no loss of cycle.
So...if direct and sustained copper can't even kill a biofilter, what's the chances these tanks prior lost their filtration ability months after the cycle completed? 0% chance.

Life after copper in Display tank
Ok everyone. This post is not for the “I told you so people “. I have a 360g reef n fish tank with massive amounts of rock. I just finished about 2 months of therapeutic level coppersafe treatment in my display tank for Ich and velvet, I saved a lot of fish so I’m happy I did. Not to mention had...
