I know they can survive some mineral...but I don't want to hurt the little guys with direct experimentation. A little copper colloid in the tank may help keep the algae levels more stable. Anyone keep fish at home or have knowledge of this subject? ciao >>
Duncan: I can't answer your question, but I can give you some facts and suggestions that may help. Fist, the level of CS and CC (colloidal copper) for swimming pools suggested from the reading I've done is: 40 PPB CS and 300 PPB CC. In addition, I recall references where it was suggested that there is germicidal activity as low as 1 PPB for CS. So why not start out at 1 PPB CS and say, 5-10 PPB for CC on one or two inexpensive fish in a separate tank and see what happens. After that, ratchet it up a little and continue your observations.
