I know I read it somewhere in the disease & treatment forum but now I can't find it. What is the recommended procedure for cleaning a tank that was used for QT and had copper dosed? Seems like I remember that it needed to be cleaned with bleach or vinegar (I don't recall which) and that it needed to sit and dry for at a week (or was it longer? Shorter?). My memory is not what it used to be.:confused:

You would use the normal procedure, but pay special attention to the seams and anything plastic. Let it dry for 3 days minimum, going a week won't hurt anything.
