Thanks for the tip regarding copper based treatments. If I can how would I test for copper and/or remove it from the tank?

I am under the impression that chemicals are absorbed into the silcone and I myself have not read any articles on how to test or remove them. Hopefully there are others here who have more knowledge in this area and can assist you.

I agree that using LR instead of the sponge is a better idea. I wonder if the plastic screen can bear the weight of the LR?

I think I know the
sump you are referring to. What is the screen plate made out of and it looks like it is removable? You could try to find some light weight, highly porous
LR rubble and place in that chamber. It will give you the volume and surface area with out the added weight. If that plate is delicate and can't support the weight, if it is removable, you could always replace it with a more durable/stronger
DIY screen to serve the purpose. Just an idea, as I am not there and can not see the materials used in this system.
Thank you all for the welcome to the site and forums!!![/quote]
You are always welcome! Can't wait to see it up and running.
