I am using the product cupramine (i understand this product is chemically different than regular Cu) in my FW tank.

I know i need to get a final concentration of .25mg/l. I have a scaleless fish and have done half of the initial dose. I am afraid of over dosing but desperately needed to treat the ich.

Is there anyway to test copper using DIY methods? I get paid tomorrow so i can get a test kit if need be.

I'm tempted to just treat my WC water with the regular half dose and just religiously do WCs. Would most of the Cupramine be removed in WC?
