it takes the full 30 days to kill the parasites in copper. So if at anytime the levels dropped below the therapeutic range or you were short of the 30 days the parasite could have survived. I am also paranoid about ich, velvet, etc. so I tend to leave my fish in the copper for a little longer than the 30 days.
I'm considering the TTM. Hows the success rate?
Thank you for the insight. I will admit I've never given much thought to you're heater comment. That's a good point about water getting trapped in the top part.The success rate is great as long as you make sure that there is no cross contamination between the two tanks, everything remains dry for at least 24 hours and the tanks are kept at least 10' apart.
I usually do the transfers every 48 hours instead of 72. Honestly I feel that it gives me a better success rate this way. I have 3 sets of each equipment and wash all the equipment with 1:10 bleach/water and allow to fully dry for 48 hours before reusing.
One advice I will give you is if you are using the regular heaters with the temp controller on top of them, keep in mind that water can get trapped inside under the knob and not fully dry! This alone can cause failure! I tend not to fully submerge them when used in the qt. Also make sure they are fully submerged for a couple of hours during sanitizing process in a bucket of bleach/water.
