Need to tap the experts out there. If a fish only tank has copper added before, if it is cleaned and water changed, can the tank be used to keep corals? Any method or chemcial for cleaning? Thanks!

Heard that activated carbon can remove it.

Some chemicals will soak into silicon (E.g methylene blue) and be released slowly over time. Not sure if it will apply to copper but it's best to get a new tank or avoid keeping inverts in the tank.

Always something more important than fish.
