Ok, I am trying to find coppersafe and it seems most places do not carry it. None locally. Is there an alternative? I have cuprimine. If needs be I will order it.
Thanks, Jim
Copper Power is chelated copper, basically the same as Coppersafe.

Thank you for that suggestion. Got some coming. My best to you, JimTry Amazon. 2 day shipping with prime.
I would give Stability a few days if you can. Dr. Tims and Biospira use live active bacteria so are effective a little faster. Stability uses bacteria in a cyst form so it takes a little longer to function properly.I bought Seachem Stability to help to establish the quarantine tank. I read that a minimum of 4 weeks without the help of the bottled bacteria but how long do I have to wait with the Seachem Stability?
Yup, you can use them in your HOB filter. Just don't add them to a DT later.I have brand new bioballs that came with one of the tanks. Can I use them to colonized the bacteria inside the HOB filter?
I'm not nearly as knowledgeable or nice as Meredith, but yes, it is great for treating Velvet.Will Coppersafe take care of marine velvet?
Meredith, thanks. Good to know as I didn't read up on marine velvet. Will Coppersafe take care of marine velvet?
What are your experiences with Fairy Wrasses and copper, cupramine in particular?
Hi, I am picking up a Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse (or Cirrihilabrus Solorensis which is a shorter easier name [emoji1]) in two days and am a bit concerned about QT. I read some threads on RC and most were saying that the wrasses are very intolerant to copper, and cupramine. A lot also recommend to use cupramine at a lower level, like 0,35. However recently even Seachem seems to recommend treating at a 0,5 concentration...
I do not have access to coppersafe or copper power. There is one thing called cuprazin from Waterlife, but that apparently contains copper sulfate, Malachite Green and Formaldehyde, so it seems to me that it must be harsher than cupramine on the fish.

I know I could do TTM but I work abroad so it would be difficult. Also, given it does not treat velvet it would not be 100%. I want to minimize the chances of introducing ich or velvet to the display.
Should I treat the whole tank with kanaplex, metroplex, and possibly furan-2 or just pull the fish that look ill and put the other fish in their new qt tank tomorrow?
I've been using Coppersafe lately at the store, but before that we used cupramine and had many solon wrasses and other fairy wrasses in the that system. They did fine with it for us.
Apologies for the doble post. Not sure how this happened... [emoji848]
