Hi
I'm looking for your precious experiences with the resistance of Cleaner Shrimp to the amount of Cu2+
At what dosage do you guys find Lysmata amboinensis to stay alive for a long time and shed with no problem?
I'm considering a quarantine tank with cleaner shrimps and cleaner wrasse (hosts)...
Hello All,
So my RODI system is a good Commercial 7 phase filtration system that does 300gpd. However, I just had my water tested and my Silicon & Copper are high in my RODI water test. My head is spinning from everything I've read online so I figured I'd try to come here and get a consensus on...
Hey guys,
So I’ve been getting ICP test done recently and for some reason I keep getting copper in my tank. I don’t have any metal fittings. The only possible thing I might have is magnets but as of yesterday I stripped 95% of the amount other than my clip And my glass scraper. I’m just trying...
Hi everyone,

I’m hoping you’ll can help me diagnose what my blue tang has. These are new fish I added a month ago. I know I should have QT them first. But either way I had pulled all my first 2 weeks ago from my DT after my sailfin was showing signs of ich/velvet. I immediate got them into QT and dosed...
So i had to do a water change and i only had one more pump that was running in my QT. The qt is fishless right now but i completely forgot there was still copper in the water. I used that pump to mix my water that goes in my main tank. I immediately put carbon in the sump of my main tank to...
My blue tang got ich and initially he was laying down all the time but after 2 days with cupramine he's swimming around and eating like a pig.
The only problem is he's still scratching his body. My current copper level is at 0.5mg/L - 0.6mg/L.
I test for copper everyday with Seachem Copper...
I’ve been treating my hippo tang with copper in a qt for almost three weeks and at first I was seeing results and now it’s worse. No water changes have been don’t. Should I increase the dosage of copper? (Look near face and on spine near tail)
When I was feeding my clowns in my DT I had noticed some white spots or bumps on one of them. After a bit of research, it appears to be ich. I did manage to get a brand new 10g to QT both clowns have a sponge and hob filter (only added sponge in media basket) running for extra aeration. Temps...

Hey Guys, I am looking to get a yellow wrasse Saturday and planning on QT this guy. My plan is to add him to the QT and watch him for about 2-3 days and make sure he eats and settles in and then start dosing copper power. First is this ok to do or do I need to start Copper right away or Have the...
looking for hanna copper test. I know eBay has them looking for a fellow hobbyist who might want to just get rid of it and help me get it at a little lower cost.

Tank is 6.3 gallons total AIO but prob filled 5.5 gallons and with water displacement from stuff in sump. Quarantining a fire fish. 2 days ago i added 0.5ml of cupramine measured with 1ml syringe and tested. Looked like it was around 0.25 to me. Yesterday i added 0.25ml and today added the...
Hello all!
I have some fish I’ve brought back home again from my LFS to quarantine and treat. The two fish I have are a blue hippo tang, and an emperor angel.
To start, the blue hippo tang has white spots covering his body, that sort of look like pimples. After adding prazi last night, some of...
Hi,
Today, I noticed my male mandarin died. I found him on the bottom of the tank when I woke up. It is a big loose for me, as he was a part of mated pair, which has been spawning several times.
On 21.11.2023 I noticed ich breakdown in my tank. I have tried to manage it, and I haven't had any...
Hello all!
So I got a new Scopas and he came down with ich. I reached full dose of copper power in my tank on NOV 6. I added a diamond goby to the tank being treated on NOV 17, because the person I bought him from had him in a tank that had ich a while back, he had no signs though but put him in...
My fish just completed a 30 day long treatment of Cupramine at 0.5ppm last week. I have added Cuprisorb and Carbon in the tank to try to absorb as much copper as possible. I have also been doing more frequent water changes. The quarantine tank is 150 gallons so I am not able to do an extremely...
Can leaving fish in hypo salinity (1.009) for more than 30 days be harmful to the fish?
I have had baby burrfish in hypo salinity for 30 days. One of them died before I reached hypo salinity from either ich or velvet. I currently have them in their own tank because they are too small still to...
Hi All, my 90 gallon DT has been up and running for ~10 months now. About 6 months ago I had a velvet outbreak and treated the tank with copper soon enough to not lose any fish. I eradicated the velvet, and began removing copper with Cuprisorb, carbon, and water changes. It took me a good while...
