Treatment Options for Triggerfish

[Frtdrmrose7]

ahhhhhhh crap. i started cupramine.....i have live rock and sand so i dont think i can just switch it. i didn't see this before i decided i had to pull the trigger (ho, ho, ho). what should i do?? is cupramine that hard on fish??? when everyone said copper, did they mean chelated???!!! dang.

The go to copper these days is copper power as it’s easy on fish and has a large therapeutic window that can be used even on sensitive fish.

Hmm...are you treating in your display tank? That would not be recommended in any case, regardless of which type of copper you use. Again, would’ve recommended you go with chelated, but if you’ve committed to cupramine then it is how it is. I suspect it should be fine if you raise levels slowly, but would be preferable in a quarantine tank to maintain stable levels
