Ok. So I dosed the first copper dose directly to the quarantine. Oops? You're saying that when I go to do a water change, I should dose the new water first then add it to the tank? Sounds straight forward. Hypothetically, if I wasn't going to do a water change in 2 days, would it be fine to dose the tank directly again? Or is that improper practice?
It's fine to dose the tank directly. Just pour the proper amount in a "high flow" area so it gets dispersed quickly.
Yes, you want to dose the new water with copper to keep the levels from lowering when you add in the new water after a water change. Keeping the copper levels at therapeutic levels at all times during the 30 days is key.
