My 10gal QT tank has been a source of frustration with my 40gal DT restart. I've had a difficult time dialing in the copper levels using Cupramine. I'm using the Hanna checker to test the copper and am having a hard time keeping it above .5pp. I understand the Hanna Checker has a +/- .05 variance in its readings so I was originally shooting for .58-.6ppm readings. I'm thinking of completely switching over to Copper Power since it has a wider range of therapeutic levels.
I know I cannot mix these two different types of copper in the same tank. My plan is as follows:
1. Put QT fish (1x clownfish) in saltwater bucket with heater and powerhead.
2. 100% water change of QT with fresh saltwater and rinse all equipment.
3. Run a bag of carbon in HOB for 1 week.
4. Begin adding Copper Power
Am I missing anything in this process? Is it a bad idea to switch copper types so suddenly?
Thank you for any advice and guidance.
