I just needed some clarifying on whether it is safe or not to treat clowns with copper. I can't remember where but I read that clownfish are very sensitive to copper, so I thought I'd ask before I start them on anything.

Yes its safe. I have ran 4 clowns through copper treatment with no issues. I use Jay's process for QT found here

I use Copper Power over Cuppermine because I find it easier to maintain correct therapeutic levels.

I bought a gallon of copper power from BRS so good to know I got the suggested one.
