Copper treatment tank can it be reused?
 

I have a 10 gl tank used to treat fish with copper. Is this tank useless now for anything else? I would like to try sps and thinking about setting up just a small tank. We are rearranging things around in the house so a small tank would work well in what is now the office but being moved.

You might want to replace the silicone though. Glass won't absorb copper but the silicone probably did.

silicone dosent realy absorb copper either just make sure youve cleaned the tank out well befor you use it.

the ansewer is no......do not use the tank for a reef

you can run CupriSorb if it's just the tank. If it's in the powerhead, any filters, plumbing, etc, I'd buy new. Not worth losing stuff over it.

and a new 10g tank is like $20.....

oh... I didn't even look at the tank size. Dude!! get a new one... no question about it.

based on the relative low cost of glass tanks and the high cost of SPS, not worth the risk

have to agree with doug a new tank is only like 20 bucks top and def not worth the risk hell i wouldnt risk it if it was any tank for that matter :)

Use it to store pennies.
