Long story short my tank crashed, I found my nero pump controller sitting in my sump (photos below). I immediately did an icp test find results below. I’ve been doing several waterchanges and running carbon between the crash to now. As per my icp test is it safe to assume the metal in the tank was the only issue? I’m replacing my current tank with a new one this Friday, I assume there’s metal within my live rock, is there anything I can do about getting that out in time for my new tanks arrival. I have to transfer over my fish same day as someone will be taking my old tank and I was hoping I could use the cycled rock and media to jump start the new tank. Anything helps!! Thanks In advance!!

You already posted this once under "emergency". Posting it multiple times isn't going to yield a faster result...
wasn’t the purpose of reposting, I thought the other category fit it better and you can’t really remove/delete a post. Didn’t think it was that deep.

If those test values are real (which company?), then I'd definitely use a metal binder such as metasorb, cuprisorb or polyfilter. Copper and zinc seem especially concerning.
