Dangers of permanent cupramine in FOWLR DT

[Baldoboy1]

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 tank that I used with cupramine and then I’d move them to the DT. All my fish were in the QT with cupramine for over a month. It will allow me to clear up some much needed room and get rid of excess equipment.

Copper is very very rough on fish. ESPECIALLY at therapeutic levels. There is a reason they loose color. Small amount of copper just mask infections..or worse, make thing resistant to it. IMHO
