    A good deal for sure! My general rule of thumb is a dollar a gallon. You got way more than that in tanks and equipment. One word of advice though: if any of these are going to be reef tanks, fill them up and test for copper before doing anything else.

    In all honesty, you can't really. Supposedly running high levels of ozone will eventually break it down. Or, you can re-silicone the tank.

    there are some proprietry chemical filter media that are supposed to remove Copper if present in the tank

    Seachem makes one - cant recall the name

    Kent also make one

    I cant vouch for either or any of these products as I have never used any
