Below is a list of the most commonly available copper products, their therapeutic ranges and compatible copper test kit(s):
  • Cuprion (0.20 ppm): Seachem or Salifert copper test kit
  • Cupramine (0.4 - 0.5 ppm): Seachem or Salifert copper test kit
  • Coppersafe (1.5 - 2.0 ppm): API copper test kit
  • Kordon Copper Aid (1.5 - 2.0 ppm): API copper test kit (Avoid this brand of copper; it's too watered down)
  • Copper Power (1.5 - 2.0 ppm): API copper test kit
In addition to the aforementioned hobbyist grade test kits, below is a highly accurate "professional grade" test kit capable of reading all forms of copper:
