cupramine

I’ve talked to my LFS I have gotten advice of how to go about it. They recommended removing my sand bed because there might be eggs in there. Is there any advice that anyone could provide? This is my first time and I’m gonna be honest I am feeling extremely nervous and anxious. It is a royal...

Hello, I’ve recently bought a midas blenny, a gramma loreto, a Banggai cardinalfish and a clown goby. Fishes have been doing well for about 3/4 weeks until now, and I can’t see any sign of disease so far. Apart from the clown goby, which likely suffered a prolonged shipment time and perished...

I just started the reefing hobby 6 months ago and I have loved reading the forums for information, however I sometimes have trouble discerning which method is most appropriate for my situation. I really appreciate any help that experienced reefers can offer. I have set up a QT, it is 20g long...

Customs in Italy are a mess, so I can only buy Cupramine from other EU countries, or Coppersafe from Amazon US (That ships with DHL, which has its own customs). Which one should I get? Coppersafe is less harsh, but I've heard there are often inconsistencies in terms of the copper potency of the...

Hi all, I have a small blue hippo tang that I’ve had for months and she’s developing some strange symptoms that I can’t diagnose. My display tank is a 125g reef with 2 clowns, a purple tang and sail fin tang (no aggression issues as they were added at the same time), a powder blue tang, a coral...

Hello, I need guidance. Well, I want to explain the situation first. I am out of my city for work since last week. My wife is at home and she reported to me saying my yellow tang died all of a sudden. I couldn’t tell by the picture of it. At night she noticed the blue hippo is covered with ich...

Hi all, just checking if I’m using the salifert copper test kit right and is this 0.5 or almost there?

Hello everyone, What is your opinions as to which is better for ich treatment? Cupramine or Coppersafe? I have started with Cupramine a couple of days ago and am up to 0.2pm level now. I’m running out of Cupramine so I need to pick up another bottle. should I continue with dosing Cupramine...

Okay so due to Australia’s shipping laws tightening up I haven’t been able to find cupramine or really any copper medications at any of my lfs. The only thing I’ve been able to get my hands on is oodonex by aqua sonic. Has anyone had any experience with this? is it worth getting or should I try...

I’m using Cupramine in a quarantine tank to treat ich or velvet, unsure. I have a heater in there a HOB filter and I moved my MP40 to the quarantine tank also. My questions are around Cupramine or copper getting into things and then I can’t use them again. I want to be able to move my MP40...

Hey everyone I have a question can you mix cupramine and Ich x together? Or in small amounts different times? I’m really trying to get rid of Ick my poor puffer has it bad. I have him in a quarantine tank with the other fish. It’s a 20 gallon tank. I know puffers are sensitive to copper so I’m...

ive been quarantining this hippo tang for 2.5 months now and everything else ive quarantined (in different tanks) that i bought at the same time as the hippo had been fully cured and are now in the DT. sadly i cant say the same thing for the hippo. the hippo has been a pig, eating alot, since...

looking for some help as i have asked lots of people and most people say yes and no to cupramine in main tank setup to treat ick. most say don't do it never get it out some say its possible to get it out from the tank. cupramine seachem customer service is telling me yes %100 can be removed...

Hi all, I’m in need of some advice. I’ve been in the hobby for only a few months now and I have a 75 gallon fish only tank with two clowns, a damsel, a cardinal, and a coral beauty. Everyone in the tank has been happy and healthy so far (knock on wood). The only major issue I had prior to...

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with a fluke like worm that has survived 30 days of cupramine at 0.5 as well as 3 weeks of prazi at double the dose every 4 days, as the first go round didn’t eliminate them. I removed all medicine 3 days ago and saw them flashing again today. Did a freshwater...

Hi everyone. Can you or have you all ever dosed microbacter7 in your hospital tank while using either cupramine or copper power? Are there any benefits, any problems. I would like to increase bio diversity within the QT but don’t know if the combination of MB7 and cupramine is a bad idea or...

Hi all, I am doing a fallow to rid my DT of ich, have all my fish in QT and am dosing Seachem copper cupramine. It is pretty hard to differentiate the shades of blue on my Salifert copper test kit. I believe it is showing .5. I am going to compare with an API copper test I remember I have, and I...

Forst time with ich. Please let me know if I should do anything besides what I am doing. Removed all fish from DT to a 40g hospital tank. Added a hob filter with filter floss only(no carbon media), added a sponge filter and air pump to increase O2, added some PVC and other areas for fish to...

so its been day 6, raising the copper and i saw that his fin rot is getting worse. Its a tiny foxface. When i first got him he had some fin rot. I thought that it would heal up as my water quality was good. Im not sure if this is an emergency yet, his fins are going fast though. Hes been going...

Hey guys. So I have a 230 gallon FOWLR system and I’ve been thinking about dosing it with cupramine. Is there any reason not to use cupramine in the display tank if I never plan on putting in corals or invertebrates. Any risk of long term exposure to it for fish? Up until now I had a small QT...

Hi guys, As above my YT is in QT and has been now for about a week due to ich. I have been treating with Cupramine and the final day will be next Friday (I was trying polyplab medic previously which didnt work). He has recently lost his appetite,still eating bits but not as greedy as he used...

Hey everyone, so I have done extensive research on ich and velvet. I made the mistake of not QTing a Powder Blue Tang (yes, I learned my lesson) and him and my hippo tang got ick. Long story short i set up two hospital tanks to treat all fish: 1. 55 gallon I’m using cupramine 2. A 29 gallon I’m...

Hi! Im new to saltwater fish keeping. My 2 clownfish have ich so im thinking about setting up a 5.5 gallon QT and dosing it with Cooper. Im just wondering what kind of cheap filter and filter media i would need for it. I heard that carbon is not a good idea while using Cooper, but most cheaper...

I have been quarantining a pearlscale butterfly, bannerfish, and dartfish (in three different tanks). They are all eating well and i have treated them all with api general care. They are not showing any signs of ich, marine velvet, etc. im wondering if i will need to treat them with copper. In...

In order to try and decide why some think there is a high percentage of disease/parasites now as compared to years past - I decided to check with several LFS and a couple large shippers - If you own an LFS - or have data concerning what copper (if any) your LFS (or wholesaler uses) Please...
