Thank you so much for this info. I have never dosed before. I just flipped some orders around and picked up a hanna copper checker and a bottle of copper power. Will go that route instead and hang onto the cupramine.Ionic copper like Cupramine & Brightwells can be a bit tougher on dwarf angels than "chelated" copper like Copper Power or Coppersafe.
The trick to dosing with either but especially with Cupramine is to ignore the directions on the bottle. Dosing two big doses can be problematic for fish.
Better to do this:
1. Measure the actual water capacity of your tank. There are online tank calculators that can help, but it's better if you actually measure the tank's liquid capacity. This way you will know the actual water capacity of your tank. Most tanks are NOT the size they are labeled. Often under size which can be a problem.
2. Once you know the actual liquid capacity, calculate out the total number of "drops" of Cupramine to get to therapeutic. Then spread out the dosing to get to therapeutic over 5-7 days. Small doses in the AM, lunch, PM, allows you the luxury of watching for a copper sensitive fish before damage is done. Drops per gallon of tank water is approx. 4 drops. But test, test, test as you get close to the calculated amount needed for therapeutic level of 0.50 for saltwater tanks.
Best is to use a Hanna HL Copper Checker. Those color matching test kits are horrible for accuracy. Way too easy to under/over dose trying to match those colors.

Don, sometimes I think the big pieces flapping around actually scare the smaller fish LOLI Clip mine into little pieces and soak with some LRS. All my fish eat it.
Very popular product for treating flukes. Need to add O2 as Prazipro contains a chemical, Oxybispropanol, that absorbs/uses O2 to the point that some fish are effected. A powerhead aimed up at the surface so it is actively rippling the water's surface works very well.Thank you so much for this info. I have never dosed before.

Is the prazi pro relatively safe?

Very true, and will do! Happy 4th of July weekend!great job guys all..lot to be learned here like reading a books over decades,thanks all,, @Arsenix2001 ,best wishes,keep updated
I usually toss any absorbent materials like rock after treatment in copper. It's very difficult to remove copper from rock.BigG,
One question, should I remove these live rock fragments when I start dosing the copper and parasitic medication. Will they permanently absorb the chemicals or can they be rinsed and dried out for frag plugs later?
A 25% water change and second dose 5-7 days after the first dose covers any eggs the worms may have laid.@Big G The angel is doing fantastic as far as quarantine goes. One heck of a healthy appetite now. Ive done one round prazi, do you recomend two? Never noticed anything coming out of him after the initial treatment. The gashes on him do seem to be more consistent with an abrasion injury. I have metroplex and kanaplex coming in Thursday just to keep on hand, should I treat with those together and then follow with coppersafe?
