It all depends. If the water is hard then the copper will become coated
in line which acts as a barrier. Soft water may absorb the minerals and
yes may harm your fish. To be fair get rid and stop flogging a dead
horse. If the light are showing corosion then they are fubar, bite the
bullet and change them.


Yes, that was the direction I was headed. Has anyone out there had good
(or bad) experiences with specific brands?

Thanks all for the great advice!
