Cupramine in DT

[00Wes]

I have had an outbreak of Ich, mostly Black Ich, in my 125DT. I would like to QT the fish but I have to many fish to do this. Could I remove all invertebrates and treat the tank with Cupramine, and be able to add the invertebrates back along with some corals in the future?

Your rock and gravel will leach copper for a long time. Not recommended.

A long time being a month? 6 months? year? More?

A long time being forever lol (well not forever but it may as well be). Definitely isn't worth the risk unless you plan on a FO tank with no live rock.

Just plain no. Copper will leave your tank basically for fish only. What size fish and how many? You won't be able to QT all in the same tank, but how about multiple smaller tanks? It is either that or live with it and help them with good food and vit c
