I know the measures are PPB and not PPM but still tin arsnic and aluminum. heavy sigh!

Only one that’s really alarming is arsenic , it should be 0.

Right

Another interesting axis of this story is that BRS was running huge black Friday sales on TM salt this year...After the issue was already being discussed on hobby forums and potentially after they had already been in communication with TM. It's hard to imagine that this sale wasn't motivated by them having literal tons of TM salt they knew would be difficult to sell when the news broke.

This is going to get huge. And the statement wait. In the legal field I'm waiting for news the file for insolvency. Class action coming for sure.

I love that place. I think they were the first to offer a refund.

Me too. It's great to support a family owned and operated small business.

Danny, Hanna Copper Tester is quite inaccurate and may even be inconsistent. as to how much of the reading is actually copper. I believe it reacts to copper amongst other things. I got the same scare before when I first got the tester. I ran Cuprisorb for a few days and it did not turn color and tank was generally ok. I had a cleaner shrimp died around the same time but that could be coincidental. If I remember correctly my readings were higher, in the 0.2 range. I remember going through more than 20 reagents trying to isolate the source but the results were so inconsistent that nothing was conclusive.

I have Cuprisorb if you want to use to remove heavy metals.
