Grabbed the wrong QT bucket

[Cflip]

by mistake. Did a water change added copper to the bucket. It was in there for like 10 mins. Can I use that bucket again or is it now for QT only?

I personally wouldn't risk it... it is just a bucket... but I'd mark it clearly somehow so I didn't do it again. I also prefer to keep my QT equipment in a separate room to prevent cross contamination

Clean it should be good

I would think the pump I use can't be used for my DT in the future?

A thourough cleaning with vinegar or bleach, a good scrub and let it dry completely and you should be fine to use either the bucket or the pump in the future. Of course, if the water was only in there for 10 minutes then the other problem of the bucket absorbing some of the copper, should be minimal.
