Cloraquine Phosphate
In the past I have used Cupramine to QT new fish. Im really unhappy with the success I have had with it in the past. I want to try my hand at using Cloraquine Phosphate. I understand that the tank and equipment I used is contaminated with copper but will that be an issue when changing to CP for QT?

I am not sure, although a quick wipe-down with some vinegar will clean tanks and equipment. Live rock and sand would be a problem, though.

There's nothing in the tank except a few pieces for PVC, a heater and a HOB filter

Run some carbon to be sure it is removed before adding the CP. It will not be an issue.

How were you dosing cupramine?
If you follow the instructions on the bottle you will likely run into an issue. Need to slowly raise levels. Some fish do not tolerate CP very well. Hippo tangs, wrasses, and anthias come to mind.

The media in the HOB probably should go, but the rest can be cleaned easily with some vinegar, if you're worried. I'm not sure I'd worry very much.
