Ok, here is the situation...One of our tanks is a Aquapod 24 and we detected an outbreak of Ich. I removed all of the LR and left in a few pieces of base rock. I also took out most of the sand from the tank. I am storing the live rock and sand in a large bucket with sw and aeration...We are using Coppersafe to treat the tank.

Questions...
Once I have completed the treatment should I remove the rest of the sand and base rock before re-introducing the LR/LS?

Will the LR and LS be ok in the bucket with aeration for the 6 weeks that I will be treating the tank?
