So FYI this is purely a random thought at this point.
I have a permanent 75g system setup for QT which I will use for the usual copper then Prazi treatments.
The question is, for the copper portion of the process would an AWC be better than a large water change in regards to stability and fish stress?
The though process for the AWC being shut off the return pump, do the water change from the sump, dose additional copper and restart the return pump. Of course calibration and a testing period would be required.
Large water change would be, fish in buckets, drain the 75g(not the sump), refill, redose copper and wait for it to mix and get to temp before putting the fish back in. This would be done every 2 weeks, or as required by the ammonia.
What do you think?
