Have a 46G bowfront tank I just got done using for QT. Had copper based meds in it and I want to clean it out and make it safe for all other fish, especially inverts.
It has a AC 110 on it and a covering of Eco-Complete. Just enough to cover the reflection of the bottom of the tank.

Since Prime is a binder of heavy metals could a scrubdown of the tank with a sponge of prime after cleaning water and stuff out work?
Soak substrate in 25% Prime water a few times? - Throw out all together or clean and Prime and only use for QT purposes in non sensitive inhabitants?
Would like to have inverts of all kinds to be safe.
The filter - how to tackle that? Throw out media. Then what?
I will clean out the tank like a normal clean up first of course.
Questions to address
1. Tank clean?
2. Substrate?
3. Filter?
