Copper in the pond????

[Bob H]

I bought a underwater light at Lowe's that connects right into my Malibu l/v
set up, it is however (per the box) solid copper....does anyone know if that
will have any adverse effect on the water quality or fish....It seems to me
I read somewhere it might, what do you think?

Copper is a fairly soluble heavy metal that can cause poisoning.

unless you pond is really acidic, it shouldnt. metals corrode in acidic water
faster. Ingrid
