I agree fully with chin lee. Problems do occur that do need our attention but then sometimes just overreact for some simple thing which adds to the already high expense in the hobby "my hermit died now I must do a ton of water change" kinda extreme but that seems to be my view in some issues posted here. I love the hobby but I don't wanna turn it to my second job that i am not getting paid for. For me just keeping it simple and getting a ton of information before jumping into anything would be the best way of keeping all this paranoia and high expense down.

I can't remember where I found the info, but it made me rest easier as I didn't want to ruin the tank for future use.
My 110g tank had cupramine in it and I use it now as my mixing tank for water changes. I don't have a lot of inverts but my hermit crabs, nassarus snail and sand sifting starfish are all fine and I've been using it for water changes for a year now. No adverse effects as of yet as far as I can tell.
