    Does Methylene blue contain copper. If it is used to treat sickness in a QT can the power head from that tank be used in a coral DT after or will it leak copper into the DT?

    yes I believe its copper sulfate based
    and yes the plastic can absorb the copper and leach it back over time

    best to keep things used in the QT, equipement, nets, etc away from the DT
