used diatom filter on qt with copper....

[JLAudio]

Hey I used a diatom filter on a QT that copper was used on. Whats can I do (besides obviously changing filterpad) so I dont transfer copper to other tanks when I use it.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Run it with carbon. Test for copper.

I have been doing that for many years. Just run fresh water through it for a few minutes. There is nothing in a diatom filter to absorb copper.
