Hi all,

went through 30 days of copper(cupramine) and now i am trying to remove the copper.
Its been over 2 weeks. Ive done almost 5 water changes and ive used curpisorb. But i am still receiving readings of .18. I guess i have a couple of questions.

1- i just cleaned the curpisorb but its still yellow. Should it be yellow? Or should i soaker longer in the muriatic acid or increase the pontency?

2- is it ok to start either spectro or gc while i am still getting readings or should i wait till 0?

I would get some carbon and put it in an area of decent flow. Should suck it all up in a couple days.

As copper is pretty hard on fish.. also depends on the fish. I would get rid of it before adding other treatments.

A water change is always nice as well.

Cheers and hats off for doing a proper QT!
