Exclamation Old tank...copper treatment. Can I use it??
I have a 10 gallon tank that was once used as a hospital tank when I was fighting Ich back in the day. It was a one-time treatment over the course of maybe a week. The tank has since been used as a freshwater setup for the past 2-3 years. I know it's usually advised to not use tanks that have ever had copper treatment, but do you think it would be ok? My thinking is that if any copper set in to the silicone it would surely have depleted by now. But then again, I'm not at all familiar with the properties/characteristics of copper. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick
