Copper Plumbing

If a house that I move in to has copper plumbing, what precautions/ filtration measures do I have to take to make sure my reef tank stays alive?

I have a house with Copper, and I have had no issues. Just make sure to use a good RO/DI.

Re: Copper Plumbing

No problems and nothing special to do. Just make sure to not use copper plumbing for the tank itself.

Ya! Freshwater and Saltwater are DRASTICALLY different when it comes to copper!
