copper

I found a nice piece of live rock with some copper banded coral on it. The guy at the store thought it was some rare sponge with an N name but he couldn't remember.

So I received back my Triton ICP test and it indicated I had 5.112 ug/l of copper in my tank. So I pulled out my Copper Hanna Checker and sure enough it read .06. Therefore, I removed my carbon, and dosed Triton Detox for 3 days. I placed the carbon back in my tank, and did another Hanna Checker...

So I received back my 2nd Triton ICP test, and unlike the first one I had a small presence of copper in my tank. Didn't think a whole lot about it, just assumed that it might be a false positive. Figured I'd start to worry if it still showed on my 3rd test. Well, I remembered I actually...

I am so upset right now. I've had a beautiful Yellow Tang in my QT for the last month or so while my 120 finishes cycling. The tang was swimming, had no signs of illness, ate regularly up until today. I just found him lifeless on the bottom of my QT. I started Copper treatment (Cuprion) on...

I will be moving soon and want to split my fish from my 90g Reef into 2 separate 20 gallon tanks for treatment. I bought a tang and some anthias on Black Friday and finally my luck had run out and my fish got ich and possibly an internal parasite "white stringy poop". 2 of the 3 anthias ended up...

I got a new test kit for my reef tank and after testing my water it says my copper is between 30 and 100 I’m not sure what this means as everything I’ve been seeing online is measuring copper in ppb

I started dosing cupramine two days ago, and im slowly raising it. The other fishes in the other qt tanks are doing ok. In one of the tanks though, there is a bannerfish. My bannerfish is laying on the bottom of the tank. The bannerfish is suffering from a bad case of ich. Im not sure what to...

I have been quarantining a pearlscale butterfly, bannerfish, and dartfish (in three different tanks). They are all eating well and i have treated them all with api general care. They are not showing any signs of ich, marine velvet, etc. im wondering if i will need to treat them with copper. In...

Hi all, We finished quarantining a group of fish in our 180 with copper power and are setting up a smaller quarantine for all future fish - will the 180 be reef safe and not leach any copper once it has had a good cleaning? Was planning on using bleach in it and doing a couple rinses...

Hanna Checkers $30 CALIBRATION CHECK $5 call or text me 678-467-7495

Hi all, So we are currently in the process of building our new tank and were going to treat all our fish from our old system with copper power as we have seen signs of ich on them in the past. My question is: should we do the full 30 day treatment or, since the new tank is using none of the...

I have Hanna HI702 High Range Copper Checker used it 5 times . I will include 26 packets of reagent $ 40 SHIPPED

In order to try and decide why some think there is a high percentage of disease/parasites now as compared to years past - I decided to check with several LFS and a couple large shippers - If you own an LFS - or have data concerning what copper (if any) your LFS (or wholesaler uses) Please...

There are a lot of truisms (some would say myths) - in this hobby. Note - the word myth - is not meant to suggest anything negative about any of these points. Just that they are 'common' things we read every day on the forums. In the poll there is a 'commonly expressed 'statement' and its...

I would like to hear from people who 'Quarantine' their fish - not from those who do not use this method. This is not designed to determine what percent of people use QT methods - but rather those who do - what percentage have had a failure.... Lets discuss the reasons why it is 'great' -...

my clowns have ich and are going to into QT along with my tang all have ich will be treating with copper will the clowns still have a chance to breed in the future or will the copper kill their chances of reproduction?

So I have finished my fallow period, the fish that survived the ick are back in the display and I'm picking out fish. I have a 40 gallon set up, already sanitized and cycled. I want to implement copper this time rather than hyposalinity just for the best results. I have backup tanks that I want...

I have an Exquisite Fairy Wrasse and an Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse that are in quarantine. I recently noticed them scratching their gills on the PVC fittings and yawning. So I did some research and decided to dose PraziPro. I have read that it could be caused by flukes or ich. It makes sense that...

I've been trying to figure out where this tin, and now copper, is coming from. I'm out of ideas though.. Here's my most recent triton test - 4 ug/l tin and 9.5 ug/l copper And this one is a month ago - 6 ug/l tin and 2 ug/l copper I've replaced my heater, which had a bit of condensation...

Not sure if I should post this here or in the disease treatment or tank emergency forum, but it's mainly a chemistry question, so here I am. I got a beautiful purple tang about 4 days ago and put it in my QT. The QT was cycled from the last fish I got but had been empty for 2-3 weeks (with the...

I have recently been getting a few requests for how to adjust dosing with all of my research on the hanna checker and copper power being used together. Figured I would throw this up as a point of reference. For anyone using Copper Power: Bottle concentration will bring you to a Cu level of...

I've been doing a lot of reading on QT tanks, A LOT. ;Bookworm;Bookworm;Bookworm I want to set up a QT tank but my concern is that I've read that daily water changes are needed. I work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week and during my work week it would be almost impossible to have time to do a daily...

Hi, I have a medium sized cowfish in a 150 gallon tank with other tankmates. Got him about 2 months ago and he has been doing fine and eating really well. I just noticed about a week ago that he has ick. His eyes are cloudy. he stopped eating two days ago....not that he was not...

I have a 40B that was used to treat a pair of tangs for velvet. Both tangs survived treatment in Coppersafe and were traded into my LFS when I got out of larger tanks. I now have the desire to use that same 40B to set up a freshwater planted tank with some ram cichlids. How do I go about making...

I recently got this supplement which has zinc mag nickel etc, this includes copper. I had always thought coppers were bad for reef tank. This supplement was for corals doesnt this kill it
