copper

for u people that have used poly filters to get rid of copper how long do theses absorb before you have to change them out.i emailed the company i i think they said a week.i have a 75 gal and have used two so far.i bought another yesterday and cut in half and its been about 19 hours and is a sky blue.

I don't know what kind of answer you want to hear. I already told you the same thing the company told you. You added a double dose of copper while there was sand in the tank. The sand absorbed the copper and now it has to leech back out.
If you want the removal process to go faster, throw out all your sand and buy new sand.
