Few drops of "coppered" water in my tank...
 
I just floated a bag of water in my tank which was just floated in coppered water from a bucket. Nothing inside the bag got into the tank, but the outside of the bag was slighty wet with it.

Time to panic or am I being paranoid?

I don't think such a small amount of copper is going to hurt your tank, unless it's a very small tank.

If you want to make sure the copper isn't going to be a problem, you could use carbon overnight to remove it, then get rid of the carbon in the morning.

JMHO.

Carbon should remove the copper. But there is a type of copper that can only be removed through waterchanges. My opinoion is that you should be fine.

Thanks everyone. I guess there's not much to worry about. I'll do a couple water changes just in case :)
