Welcome!

I also suggest poly filter. Before we had copper tests, we used this as a method of checking of a tank still had traces of copper from cupramine. It should turn blue if there's significant copper present as it will precipitate out and crystallize.

Your tank should be fine at the concentration of 22 ppb measured in the ICP test because the copper sulfate therapeutic level for marine ich (cryptocaryon) treatment is 15-20 ppm (basically 15,000ppb).

If you want to test biologically, I suggest getting a free tester coral from the club swap coming up and see if you can keep it alive

Before I decided to break down my tank and set it up again I tried using poly filter and cuprisorb at the same time but it wasn’t enough I feel like the rock and sand kept leaching copper but I think the poly filter would tell me faster if there is copper in my tank then cuprisorb
But wouldn’t it turn blue either way from absorbing other things?

Usually blue would be copper. Other stuff have their own color
