Hello, I’m currently dealing with velvet with copper power and would like to know if a copper test kit is required. Also do I have to slowly increase the dose of the copper power or can I do the effective amount at once?

It’s required for testing any level of copper when treating and don’t use API brand either
Also assure the copper says treats OODINUMHello, I’m currently dealing with velvet with copper power and would like to know if a copper test kit is required. Also do I have to slowly increase the dose of the copper power or can I do the effective amount at once?

API Copper is Garbage and they shouldn't even sell it.the Humblefish website said to use API copper test kits with the Copper power though

Do you see what year that was written ? API has become notorious for false readings and if you want to risk overdose , API will afford just that. Same applies to API ammonia-nitrate and phosphate kitsthe Humblefish website said to use API copper test kits with the Copper power though
Will a salifert copper test kit do the trick then? Is the guide that Humblefish provided for treating velvet outdtated now? Also another question is if I can aerate water without an air stone but only with the pump and airline tubing. I need to treat it right now and don't have air stonesDo you see what year that was written ? API has become notorious for false readings and if you want to risk overdose , API will afford just that.

Getting a master kit for $20 should tell you a little something about reliability
Salifert and hanna both goodWill a salifert copper test kit do the trick then? Is the guide that Humblefish provided for treating velvet outdtated now?

I bought a salifert. It was better than the API, but I still found it a little hard to read, so I ended up with a hanna.Will a salifert copper test kit do the trick then?

Air stone is not essential. Just tubing is acceptableWill a salifert copper test kit do the trick then? Is the guide that Humblefish provided for treating velvet outdtated now?

If the fish actually have velvet, I would get it into therapeutic levels of copper immediately. I personally wouldn't bother with any dip in this case.Ok thanks guys one last question. My fish with visible infections has passed. A tang and 2 clowns (one of the clown passed in quarantine, it was too late I guess.) The others look normal and don't look stressed yet. Can I skip either the freshwater dip or the ruby reef rally dip and move it straight into quarintine with a small amount of copper in this case? Temperature controlling those small areas of water is hard since I don't have small heaters
