Here's the link to the previous thread on API General Cure: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/api-general-cure.195229/#post-2236352Thank you....I have been reading but haven't made it through the entire thread yet
They’re not particularly fragile in copper but do better in chelated copper such as copper power or coppersafe. Increase copper slowly. Skip the sand that don’t need it.

They generally do alright with prazi as well but I’d avoid treating with both at the same time if possible, although it can be done it’s a higher risk.
Get it eating before you dose any mess.
Congrats, let’s see some pics!
I wouldn't do that large of a water change! When fish hide it is most likely due to stress. A huge water change will add to that stress. I would just continue to give it time unless you feel you have a different issue other than residual Prazipro.
As far as shelf life, it will be fine. I put this together for a different post but I hope it helps. I love Coppersafe but it is one of the more confusing products on the market.
Moving them would reset the clock for the tank. Adding a piece of coral or invert to a QT system resets the clock on that tank but it doesn't impact any other corals or inverts in that tank. Lets say you set up a QT system and add inverts. 30 days later you add a coral. You could still pull the inverts out and add them to your DT 46 day (76 days total) after adding the coral. If you decide to add a fish to this tank at some point, you would do that 76 days after adding the last invert coral.
Yup. No different than a fish QT.
Depending on the invert you may want to use algae waffers, pellets, flake, or frozen foods. Very similar to what you would do if fish were in the system.
Thanks. It is a IM Nuvo 24, so theoretically 24 gallons. However, I measured the fact quantity of water it took to fill and it is actually closer to 20 gallons. I always see people in general overstating by a large factor the actual volume of the aquariums basically just multiplying the dimensions forgetting that just by using actual water height (not glass height) and subtracting the glass thickness from the dimensions leads to a 20% plus lower actual volume. I firmly believe that a lot of the people that have bad results with medications and additives are simply overdosing because of this effect.
What a dumb **** I am . When I saw the expiry date I threw it down the drain... But thank you for the dosage instructions. One question: would Salifert test work? I believe I read a post from Humble stating that it did but not sure now that you mention API...
It happens!
