Okay, so I've dosed my QT up to 0.5 Cupramine (tested with Salifert)
To be thorough I mixed up a separate batch of saltwater and Cupramine based on their instructions...
2ml per 40 litres = 0.5mg
2 ÷ 40 = 0.05ml per 1 litre
------------------
I mixed up 5 litres of saltwater and added 0.25ml of Cupramine - 5 x 0.05 = 0.25ml
The first test vial pictured is water taken from my QT which I've dosed up to 0.5 using the salifert test.
The second test vial pictured is water mixed using the Cupramine instructions on the bottle.
Which is correct??
I really need to get this QT right this time around. Just had to pull all my fish from the DT as ich/velvet found its way through my previous QT procedure.
I haven't lost any fish so far thankfully!
I wonder whether following the salifert test measuring at 0.5mg may have caused something to slip through, as the copper dosage might not have been strong enough?
