cupramine

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...

Is the recommended dosage for Cupramine is sufficient or too much for the fish. I'm following the guidelines given to me by Seachem Cupramine. Tested at 0.5mg/L I bought a blue eye kole tang and placed it in my quarantine tank (with 1 clownfish and a blue tang for 5 days) Everything was fine...

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...

My 55 gallon salt water DT has Ich!?! I have lost 3 fish in one week. I am convinced that the only thing that will cure Ich is to treat ALL my fish with copper in a QT. I cannot treat the DT as I have lots of invertebrates that will die from the the copper. I believe I have to starve the...

Hi All, I’m new in reef tank and about to start my first QT and decided to use Hanna Copper with Cupramine. I tried to test new batch of ASW (with RODI water) it got me a reading of 0.25ppm Here what got me confused: Does that mean my ASW has has already contains 0.25ppm copper? My...

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...

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...
