So i have a 20 gallon long QT tank setup with HOB filter, pvc, powerhead, heaters, air stone, and bacteria seeded from DT.
I have one smaller snowflake clown in there now. Just observing him and he's doing fine, eating well, and i see no evidence of spots or disease.
I have cupramine, General Cure, metroplex, and prazipro. Also have a seachem ammonia alert badge hanging.
The plan is to add cupramine over 5-7 days at (20 drops per 10.5 gallon) 76-80 drops over 5-7 days or 11 drops per day to ramp up (per Humblefish's suggestion) instead of doing the 2 doses over 48 hours on the back of the bottle. Test daily until .5 ppm is achieved and then keep at that amount for 30 days. Any water changes, i add 4 drops per gallon in order to keep the concentration at .5 at all times to not reset the clock.
Also it was suggested to dose metroplex every 2 days for first week.
After 30 days use carbon to remove copper and then does General Cure 2x over 12 days.
Does this seem like a sound plan and am i missing anything? Kinda nervous as this is my first QT.
