Aquarium equipment and copper

I agree, I used to use Cupramine back when I was keeping a FOWLR tank whenever a new arrival got ick. After copper treatments I would then use carbon to get the copper out and test the water with a good test kit. Other then that I didn't do anything else to the tank, rocks or equipment. I then began adding corals, and have not had any ill effects, with my tank now containing SPS, LPS, rics, zoas, etc.
Hope this helps.
