Maybe I will pick up an API test kit so that I don’t run through all of my Hanna reagents so quickly. I could test every few days to be highly accurate and then use the API test kit to ensure that I’m above the minimum of the therapeutic level on the days between.

I appreciate the information!
Since the Hanna Copper checker is dead on, why go elsewhere?
The 25 pack of reagents is only $10.

You’ve had some great guidance here. Good luck! I also highly advise against CopperSafe. Bottle potency is inconsistent at best. It’s less of an issue with the Hanna copper checker but with dosages on bottles as dosed leading to 2.0-5.5 PPM that’s one heck of a swing. I will not purchase this product any longer.

So what are you using now? Copper Power? Something else?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
