Copper Power Follow Up Question

[puccie1]

Can you answer one more question please, prior to me starting copper power which Im in 17 th day, prior to this I used formalin for 14 days, which cleared it up then it came back so I did 5 days again of formalin and right after that the copper treatment. I also got rid of the fish who I believe to be the main cause (character) to the ongoing problem ( bat fish). So my question is is 17 days instead of going full 30. Everyone seems to be doing good no signs of ick (2 wks) since I gave the bat fish away. Sorry to be a pest and Thanks
Also it fish only display tank.

Do not mix formalin with copper.... one or the other
Do a good water change and run coppersafe for two more weeks at 2.25ppm and monitor level with a Hanna brand copper test kit.

Before I started a copper treatment, I did a water change and waited. Four days then I did the copper treatment. I’m in the 17 day with 2.2 all plus so I was wondering if that’s enough because the fisherman and medication for the last two months basically

You want continuous application of coppersafe at 2.25 for a full 30 days. You are interrupting the treatment clock waiting 4 days and then resuming treatment

I'd still treat for 30 days, just to be safe.
