Removal of copper

[Richards Aquarium]

I have a 20 gallon QT I want to know how long to remove copper from it I added 6oz of copper 2 oz in the canaster filter and 4 oz in net bags directly in the tank. I am moving and I need to put Anenome’s and crabs in the QT tank. I will be tearing down tank on the 1st. Does this give me enough time to add Anenome’s to Qt. ???
Thank you in advance.

Use cuprisorb and do a couple water changes. If you can get your hands on a hanna copper checker that’s the best way to confirm there isn’t any copper left.

What is in the QT tank? Sand? Rock?

Can you just scrub it out with soap and water, perhaps using vinegar if there are any mineral deposits?
