Big Mistake

I got my hospital tank set up (40G) and am treating 2 Clowns, yellow Tang, 2 blue damsels and eel. Hope that goes well. BUT, I made a HUGE mistake. To get the eel and 2 elusive damsaels I had to take all the LR out, so I figured it would be a good time to clean up a little so I did. Mixed up some fresh water to help fill display tank (55G) back up. To help it get back up to temp I thought it would be a good idea to use 5 gallons from the hospital tank (DUMB< DUMB!!!) so long story short I dumped 5 gallons of water with cooper in it in my reef tank! OUCH! Have not been able to sleep got up at 4AM and I can find 3 out of 4 shrimp (they seem fine) anenome looks normal will look for crabs after i turn the lights on pretty soon. From what I have read I think everything in my tank (Anenome, 1 coral banded, 3 peppermints, 1 sps, 1 brittle star, 1 sand sifting star, 2 feather dusters, 50# LR, and crushed coral substrate) along with all the equipment and tank can never be used for a reef tank again, right? Real bummer. I can not belive I made such a stupid mistake. And, oh yeah I still have a lot of things (Arrow crab, Orange Ball sponge, Candy Cane Coral, ORA Birds Nest, Curly Q Anenome and a small CUC)coming from DR.Fosters and Smith. WAS planning a nice reef tank. Do not know what to do now, am going to do a 50% water change today and go get a cooper test or just toss everthing and give up (JK) Any thoughts?

 

Paul, I am in Des Moines, will let you know if need to THANKS!!!

 

Thanks for all the help every one. I did a 50% water change today and doubled my Carbon and added Polyfilter. Did a copper  test and it did not register  so I hope that is a good sign. All critters are active and eating so good. I am going to buy some snails and see if they make it, I heard they are the most sensitve to it. Again, THANKS!  I feel ALOT better now.
