Just wanted to share my recent QT experience with copper power.
1x powder blue tang, 1x hippo tang, 1 melanarus wrasse, 1 blackcap basslet, 3 azure damsels.
Finished 30 days of QT in copper power at 3.5ppm. All are alive, well extremely active the whole time.
Why 3.5ppm ?? I started with 1ppm and was increasing to 2.5ppm within a week like I usually do and, well I miscalculated dosage and it tested 3.5 with hanna checker so I tested again and it came out the same. The fish all seemed to be doing really well so I just took a risk and left alone. I did a 10 gallon water change 2 weeks into therapeutic levels with copper dosed into the new water to 2.5ppm and it tested 3.3ppm.
Just wanted to share this as a data point or if you've overdosed copper power there is no need to panic if the fish look like they are doing ok.
