![]() The tank can be resealed and washed with acid to remove copper. Theoretically the rock could also be bathed in acid and stripped of copper, but it's a lot of work. Any equipment can also be cleaned. Crappy situation all around...

![]() I had read that washing the rock with acid might work. At this point time and effort doesnt really matter. to me it beats throwing out $500 of rock if i can save it.

![]() muriatic acid is cheap. If you have the time, fill a large rubbermaid with fresh water, add half a bottle of acid, add rock. It should fizz on the surface. LEt it soak for 10 minutes or so, then remove to a new tub of RO water, and let it soak overnight. Test the RO tub for Cu the next day. You'll need to add a big box of baking soda to the acid tub to neutralize it before dumping. Wear old clothes and long rubber gloves. Do this outside and don't drip the acid on your sidewalk.
