I have been using a 20 long for my dt. decided to clean it out and rehouse my starfish only. to keep my shrimp alive. I have been doing fresh water changed in it to bring down the copper levels. draining it and then waiting 24 hours and then retesting it. then draining it. and etc... since I haven't used it in a while i yesterday i tested it. it read .88ppm then waited 24 hours and tested it again .22. i drained it an refilled it. since I used coffersafe. what else can I run to help remove this or are water changes good enough. I have only used coppersafe in the 20 just once. looking for advise on this. Thank you.
