Hi there, I will be setting up a 500-600 liter mixed reef tank. I will use a plastic cargo box to quarantine the fish with 2 or three sponge filters. The only copper that I can find in Bangladesh is Cupramine, and this is where the problem arises. I want to keep a few wrasses, but from what I have read, they do not do so well in Cupramine. Is there any way I can quarantine them with this medicine? I asked a few people who quarantined wrasses with Cupramine, and they said that they just use half the dose of copper for 7 days instead of 14-30 days. What do you think of this? Will this work? Please let me know. Thank you! I plan to keep clowns, cardinals, grammas, tangs, wrasses, and some other fish for the most part. Please let me know if I can use Cupramine on these fish thank you!

Cupramine at a half dose will not be effective. Should be at 0.5 mg/l for 30 days. I don’t think it should be a problem for wrasses, but I will defer that to @Jay Hemdal
All of your other fish will react fine to it.
