hey y'all,
my fish were recently treated with coppersafe for ich, have finished their regimen and returned to the dt. In their qt tank, i put in a bio-block that was sitting in my dt for about 2-3 months, to help regulate the water quality in the qt.
However, my understanding is that nothing porous that has been exposed to copper medications should be returned to the dt. So...what do I do with it now? Will I ever be able to "clean" it? Do I leave it to just dry out - but then using it in qt again would be useless because all the bacteria would have died off, right?
