I also have my QT warming up for the clowns. They're the only fish acting weird though. I don't want to move everyone and cause unnecessary stress.

Snails and crabs are done moving. Thinking about moving my shrimp at least.

Is this the end? I'll have to get all new rock and equipment right?

You you say your clowns are violently twitching? how long have you had them? Clown fish twitch and shake when their establishing dominance between a pair they might just be doing that

This is the heater from the mixing bucket. It seems the wire coating has become brittle from repeated wetting/drying. The wire kind of broke, and exposed the copper wire to the freshly mixed water.

Sorry about your problem Doob but I wonder if that much copper could have leached that fast into the water
But I agree pull as much as you can out and into QT including inverts of course and carbon and cuprisirb plus another water change

I've had them for around 6 months, bought them together. That very well could be!

It was mixing for 2+ hours.

I never realized a cut cord could leach copper into water... scary!
