How are you doing water changes in a QT while using copper power? How are you getting the right copper dosage back in after what you took out? Sorry for the newb question... but thanks

You want to have a separate mixing container just for your QT tank. Add copper to the new water, get it to the level that you have in your QT tank. Then, you can do the water change as normal and the copper will stay constant.

I premixed copper power with the new salt water in the bucket before the water change.
