I'm at a loss... I have been qting my fish in copper for 8 days so far since hitting 2.5ppm on my Hanna HR Copper.
I did my first w/c yesterday and when adding copper to the new sw to be added I followed the instructions on the back 1 ounce per 20 gallons... Or 1.4786ml per gallon. However this gives me 2.06ppm per Hanna.
What is going on? Since hitting 2.5 on the Hanna I lost a Bartlet Anthia. 5 wrasses doing ok, ccb, foxface, Tang and squareback all doing ok outside of stress from their new homes. Eating is ok, definitely not compared how much they used to eat in DT.
The anthia I lost did not show visible signs of ich, other fish did.
Both boxes of my reagents are from same lot number.
I have used Prime in the water to help with ammonia.
Any ideas? Is my Hanna checker wrong? If so then I may be treating at 3ppm of copper.
