copper in tank

[newreefer03]

I will be using my 72 gal bowfront tank that I had used as a freshwater tank for my saltwater tank along with the emperor power filter with biowheels. I had used copper in my freshwater tank. I am worried after reading how copper kills invertebrates in SW tanks. I have cleaned the tank with water and washed out the power filter and biowheels. I am going to run some coppersorb through the power filter and tank when I cycle my tank with live rock. The question is-- Is this enough to allow me to keep some invertebrates in my reef tank? Thanks.

If you cleaned out the tank well you should be fine. You ought to ditch the filter/biowheels and get a skimmer anyway.

Thanks, I actually have a prizm skimmer, uv sterilizer, and 2 powerheads that I will be using in addition to the power filter/biowheel. I hope it isn't too much.
