I couldn’t find any threads on this so figured I would ask the question for myself and future reefers.
I have a 20 long I am currently using for quarantine that I want to turn into a sump down the road. My only real concern is copper being leeched into the new tank from it.
Can you repurpose an old quarantine tank?
What is the best way to very all the copper/other chemicals have been properly removed?
Glass should not absorb copper or anything, but I know silicone can absorb chemicals over time, is there concern about it leaching back out?
What is, in your opinion, the best way to remove chemicals? (Run carbon for a couple weeks, cuprisorb, etc?)
Thanks for the input!
