I just got a secondhand Aquaclear 70 HOB from my LFS. Before I connected it up and got it ready for use, I realized that I needed to test it for copper (this thing came from a tasteless blood parrot cichlid tank) so I'm not sure what meds were used on it. Does copper leach into the filter if it was used on the tank? If so, how long does it take for it to leach out again? I've filled it with fresh water right now and am going to test for copper in a few days. How long will it take for any copper to register on an API test kit?
Thanks!
P.S. This is for saltwater invertebrates - cuttles and stomatopods. That's why...
