Well I've had a couple kids in the house in the last couple months, but none of them tall enough to drop a penny or any other coinage into the tank.
The only place I can figure it could possibly have come from would be like some residue on the PVC pipe, or something in the glue. But I rinsed the pipes and used silicone non-toxic aquarium glue. I ran the sump (with flexible tubing) for over a week before actually PVC'ing the system and the whole time everything looked great, like better than it ever had before. So I don't think there was copper residue or anything damaging coming from the 10 gallon sump I added. It ALL correlates to hard lining the drain/return system. That's when shroomy shrunk and the inverts became inactive.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid and it's all about adjusting to the new flow.
