Thank you so much for your time, with now what I assume is probably ick in my quarantine what is the best way to in a sense clean this tank out I have a good bit of macro algae like several softball sized worth chunks that I would like to continue to use but I'm not going to put them in other tanks if they're contaminated. There's nothing living in this tank right now except for some anthropods and maybe a bristle worm so it would just running a general copper safe or something of the sort for a matter of time and removing it with carbon work?
You shouldn't try to use copper as a disinfectant, it only targets protozoans, and can leave residual copper in the sand and rocks. The very best method is to let the tank go fallow, with no fish in it for 60 days.
