anyone have a fwlr who run copper with? have u had success and free from parasites
 
I have a 400 gallon FOWLR and have run Copper Power several times over the years to clear up parasites. You don’t want to run copper continuously as your fish and bacteria bed will suffer. Three weeks at 2.5ppm will clear up any parasite issue.
 
Have a 500g fowlr that i was stocking with new big fishes, so ran copper power between early July thru mid November while adding them all. Now all my fishes are parasite free (i.e many tangs, including achilles and powder blue tang, etc) and getting rid of copper power with cuprisorb. .48 left to go. Hopefully no long term adverse effects.
