Yes...

Very importatant to do so. Latent Cu will remain in tank...seals etc...and will not come out unless you actively remove it.

Cuprisorb, Poly Filters, etc all good for doing this...must have good circulation and filtering system....

Actually, if does test out for any kind of Cu at all, I would seriously consider not even using tank.

Can take a small fortune in that stuff mentioned above and lots of time to get the stuff out of tank.
