Hey guys! Got a hippo blue tang and a Midas blenny in quarantine. They’ve spent 30 days in NZ quarantine, then 24days at the LFS waiting to be bought and then I bought them 2 weeks ago. I observed them for a week and now I’ve started therapeutic cupramine (sorry I know copper safe better but we don’t have it here). I got it up to 0.5-0.6 four days ago. Fish are fine and eating. I’ve been keeping it around 0.6. Did an emergency 10% water change now because despite putting a 3 month old filter sponge from my sump into the QT I still had a small rise in ammonia (0.02 on the SeaChem alert, green colour). After WC i must’ve calculated something wrong because cupramine level dropped to 0.48 (Hanna checker).
My plan is to do 14 days at therapeutic cupramine and then move the fish to one more QT for a final week observation before my DT.
So now I’ve gone below copper 0.5 do I have to restart my countdown again? Or is a therapeutic range actually like 0.4-0.5?
