Copper related questions

[WhatCouldGoWrong71]

1) My QT tank that I use for copper has cycled, I’d like to leave it up all the time. Best way to do this between having fish in there?

I used a smaller Brute to have copper made water ready to go. Is this can unusable for anything but copper related activities?

What about BRS Ti heaters? And Sicce pumps? I put a heater and pump in the Brute. Did I sacrifice these?

I had 2 tanks going with copper, after 10 days I emptied one. Is this tank useable? How would I clean it?

Thanks in advance.

Just clean the brute and tank thoroughly with vinegar and it should be fine to use for normal things again.

I think it should be the same for the equipment but i don’t know for sure.

Yes - a white vinegar rinse will remove any surface contamination of the copper. Rinse well with tap water afterwards.
The thing you want to avoid is reusing any carbonate material that has been exposed to copper - limestone rock, coral sand, etc.

Thanks @fishywishy @Jay Hemdal. I just needed double validation. I know a guy that once told me to buy bitcoin when it was 1k coins for a penny, even then I needed my double validation. At the time, my second opinion saved me $20 bucks :) have a great holiday all.
