I m new in marine. Pls help me. Last week 2 of my fishes have white spot all over the body. So last 2 days I went over to a marine farm to ask for some advise . He told me its ICH. Ok fine . Intro me with copper and tell me pour copper according to temp tank that is 1ft. Ok I did as I was told . My main tank 2ft I washed up all stuffs with filter sea water. Sand , filter , Live rock ...... was told again to pour copper to main tank with half dosage. Main tank with live sand, Live rock. He said ok to pour copper. 1ft temp tank smelly yesterday night and 2 fish dead. Ask the marine staff Again so how now. Ask me put some fishes back to main tank as 1ft tank poison now. Ok pour back main tank. This morning 7 fishes dead !!!! How now ?

Do you have a copper test kit? It's possible that the copper you added resulted in too high a dosage for the fish.

No . I don't have a copper test kit. Didn't ask me to buy too.

I would suggest picking up a test kit that works with the type of copper you are dosing in (not all kits will test all forms of copper additive correctly). Sorry that's a bit vague; if you can provide specifics on what you are using (and how much you've used), it would help us help you better.

BTW - I'm sorry for your loss of fish. :-(

Also; agreed on the link provided above being a good one.
