Seachem CupriSorb – Advanced Copper & Heavy Metal Removal Resin (100ml)
Seachem CupriSorb is a premium-grade copper-specific chelating resin designed to remove all forms of copper and heavy metals from aquarium water. Unlike standard cation exchange resins, CupriSorb is effective in both freshwater and saltwater environments and can extract even chelated and precipitated copper from substrates and gravel beds.
It is ideal for emergency copper removal after medication treatments and allows for the safe reintroduction of invertebrates into previously treated tanks. CupriSorb changes color from tan to deep blue-black as it becomes exhausted and can be regenerated multiple times using muriatic acid and sodium bicarbonate.
Key Features:
- Removes ionic, chelated, and precipitated copper

- Safe for marine, reef, and freshwater aquariums
