how to get rid of copper in QT tank

[hzheng33]

is there a proven method of getting rid of copper (cupramine) in the qt tank? just enough so that the fishes sensitive to copper doesn't die from the residue of cupramine.

buying new ones is not an option because i have 7-8 of various sizes. so i would rather "clean" the copper out

Either a 100% water change or this.

Thanks Adam. I have no problem with water change. I’m afraid what’s in the plastic trim/silicone/etc. done! Just ordered some

Any trace copper after a 100% change shouldn't cause any problems for fish. It's inverts and corals that would be effected.
