It is good for saltwater trust me. Hanna has verified that.

Paula from Hanna canada just wrote me back saying that the copper checker is not suitable for salt water applications....
Did anyone know this?
This was approved by Hanna USA and must not have reached the Canadian office yet, who doesn't work with aquariums as much as our USA office. We will make sure they are informed of this new development. The HI702 is approved for use in seawater.
1. Receive the fish, float to temp 15-30 min.
2. Drip acclimate 15-20 min
3. 1 hr Parguard bath
6. Start chelated copper treatment after 1-2 days after prazipro treatment once fish are eating. Treat using chelated copper for 30 days
I was planning on doing one prazipro treatment before copper and a second one after. Would there be any benefit to doing two prazipro treatments? Or is just the one before copper treatment sufficient?
Not using the insert for the bio wheel that has carbon in it are you? Hang in there with your qt woes. There is a real learning curve to it but once you get the equipment and drugs needed on hand you will handle it a bit better. It’s tough to lose fish though. Lots of great help available here for sure. You are not alone in this so take heart.

I use the same HOB filters you have to take out the biowheel you can only use it when seeding the qt. It needs to be taken out before you start any meds.
Thanks for the info about the bio-wheel. That’s is definitely where my copper is going. I appreciate the responses and words of encouragement.
