I'm using the Black Ice Xtreme with a 120mm 12v fan attached using an eheim pump to circulate out and in to the sump.

The description of that radiator your using says it's got copper in it.
You sure that's gonna work okay and not kill your fish?

Hey how about that, I'm a freakin idiot. Sould have read the specs better.

I managed to kill off all of my inverts.

How do you go about testing or removing copper from a system.

For testing, there are simple test kits available. I have a Salifert. Forget how much I paid for it. Salifert kits are pricey, but you get what you pay for. They are the best, IMHO.

As for getting rid of copper...I maybe wrong but it is my understanding that once it's there, it's there and you can't get rid of it.
When I converted one of my 135g tanks from fresh to salt, 4 months ago, I was cautioned by my LFS to make sure that I did not use any equipment that might have been exposed to any copper medications in the past because, if that were the case, there would be a certain amount of copper left behind in the equipment and that equipment could not and should not be used on a marine system.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you might have to start from square one again.

I'm not 100% sure on this, however, and maybe someone else has a different opinion on this.

Anyway, good luck.

I would check your levels first, then do a 10% water change and test again. Do this a couple of times and you will find out where you stand with the copper situation.

A post has recently been made in "Product Reviews" (coincidence?) regarding a copper removing product. (Cuprisorb). Maybe this would help your situation.
