copper

He guys, when it comes to quarantining tangs…I know they’re likely to get ich.. is it good to quarantine them off the bat with copper? Or any other meds? Or wait until you see something. This is a powder blue tang specifically I’m talking about …20 gal long glass bottom quarantine tank. Thanks!

I was recently listing to an old reef therapy podcast where Chris Meckley mentioned he doses copper to maintain a ppb of 9 in his systems since copper if necessary for photosynthetic organisms. I’m in the works of starting a small coral farm in my shop where each system will have a display...

Whatsup guys, Not sure if this is the beginnings of ich or mane hes just being nipped at? Or maybe a malnutrition issue I know they’re susceptible to ich so thats why im concerned.

I need help with a pair of Gold Stripe Maroon Clown fish I have in QT. I received the fish on November 11th. The male (the smaller fish) has always eaten much more than the female (the larger fish), but the female was eatting more and more each day up until two days ago. The female stopped...

Hey Gang! I had started my cycle and was in about 2 weeks, I went to my LFS for microbactor 7 and some live rock.( I was given three rocks , and one from the copper tank. ) Week later I went to take my water for a test and another employee told me that I have 0.08 copper in my tank… Next...

Has anyone done a copper qt on one of the tank bred regal angelfish? I’ve one ordered but heard they come in super small and I’m worried copper (power) would have a larger toll on such a small fish’s system any advice ? Also going to formalin dip and prazi TIA

I’ve had this PBT for a week now, proactively treated with prazi first (for 5 days) did a 50% WC and started copper power. Raised copper to 2.5 over the coarse of 48hrs. Found it lying on the bottom of the tank this morning barely moving. Did a freshwater dip and it sadly passed. Can anyone tell...

Hello reefers, After 20+ yrs of keeping fish I have my first encounter with ich. I am in the process of setting up a treatment tank. My question is regarding a separate tank that I currently have cycling. I seeded it with some ceramic media blocks, LR, and some water from my main tank about a...

Just curious about dosing copper as part of the reef moonshiners program. Mine is at a 0 level based on ATI MS analysis. Of course copper dosing sounds scary because it’s the same stuff that kills itch and inverts. Of course RMS dose is probably very minor but still. Please let me k ow if...

I posted this on a previous discussion, but haven't heard back yet. I'm sharing this here because 1) I think you all will get a kick out of this one and 2) I need an answer... SO ....for the last 8+ years I have used a 950Magdrive with a 6 foot hose attached via a BRASS fitting. I use this...

I have a 75G tank and for the past 3-4 days I have noticed a couple of my fish do some excess scratching on the rock or sandbed. Today I noticed a few (very small) spots on my tang and royal gramma. I decided to be proactive and treat with Coppersafe with a little bit of Safeguard for stress...

So for my qts, I am dosing copper and nitrofurazone (along with other meds if needed like intestipro) but recently I have had a uronema outbreak. I was wondering if I can dose Ruby Reef Rally Pro or Formalin in my qt along with copper and nitrofurazone. I saw on humblefish forum that you can...

Hi all, I'm converting my fresh water tank to marine and I have loads of bio media I'd like to reuse. I have historically dosed Leaf Zone which has minor traces of copper. Is this a significant concern?

So I’m experiencing ich for the first time. I’ve set up a quarantine tank (50 gallons) and started dosing copper safe on Thursday with a slow ramp up. I have a Hanna copper checker and I don’t think it’s giving correct numbers. First time I dosed (18ml) checked about 2 mins after and it said...

Hello! After being away from the hobby for a few years I figured I wanted to get back to it with a fresh start, quarantine everything and no bad hitchhikers on the rocks. Since I live in Sweden my options for medicine is not as big as in the US. Copper safe and the likes are almost impossible...

This starcki damsel has been in QT for 3 weeks, with coppersafe at 2.34 ppm for the last 2 weeks. I had noticed the abdomen was looking a bit pale before but didn't think much of it, as it was eating perfectly fine. Suddenly, today it was feeling lethargic. Just came back home, it's lying on...

Hi I'm looking for your precious experiences with the resistance of Cleaner Shrimp to the amount of Cu2+ At what dosage do you guys find Lysmata amboinensis to stay alive for a long time and shed with no problem? I'm considering a quarantine tank with cleaner shrimps and cleaner wrasse (hosts)...

Hello All, So my RODI system is a good Commercial 7 phase filtration system that does 300gpd. However, I just had my water tested and my Silicon & Copper are high in my RODI water test. My head is spinning from everything I've read online so I figured I'd try to come here and get a consensus on...

Hey guys, So I’ve been getting ICP test done recently and for some reason I keep getting copper in my tank. I don’t have any metal fittings. The only possible thing I might have is magnets but as of yesterday I stripped 95% of the amount other than my clip And my glass scraper. I’m just trying...

Hi everyone, I’m about to QT a pair of flame scooters, both are eating well. I’m just wondering if people known how well these guys handle copper? I’ll be treating with cupramine, will the 0.5mg/ltr level be ok for them? (Plan to raise to that level over 4 days)

I’m hoping you’ll can help me diagnose what my blue tang has. These are new fish I added a month ago. I know I should have QT them first. But either way I had pulled all my first 2 weeks ago from my DT after my sailfin was showing signs of ich/velvet. I immediate got them into QT and dosed...

So i had to do a water change and i only had one more pump that was running in my QT. The qt is fishless right now but i completely forgot there was still copper in the water. I used that pump to mix my water that goes in my main tank. I immediately put carbon in the sump of my main tank to...
