Copper safe hands down. I've used cupramine for a long time, but after switching to coppersafe I was able to keep more sensitive fish longer and with less loss.
The chelating process combines the copper with another substance. This makes it less toxic which is why you need the higher dosage. The process is supposed to reduce the toxicity to fish more than it does to the parasites which is why it is considered safer to use for most species. It does seem like some fish species didn't do well in science so they refuse to follow this guidance.Currently using coppersafe because of the recommendations from this forum. Last week, treating my velvet case, I initially purchased cupramine because it's more well known and that's what my LFS offers... then did more research and ordered CopperSafe on amazon..
One thing I don't understsand is, why treatment chart thread shows that lots of fish such as Angels tolerate Chelated Copper better versus Ionic Copper? Isn't copper just copper in the end in terms of tolerance?
I don't find that angels are particularly sensitive to copper at all. I think that reputation was actually caused by a hypersensitivity to ammonia, something also found in quarantine tanks.Currently using coppersafe because of the recommendations from this forum.

Nobody using copper power?
I haven't yet. But some of the guys on my local forum swear by it for treating wrasses.
