Length of Use > Cupramine

[SparkPlug]

i have a 75 Gal QT that had 8 fish

lime wrasse
lunar wrasse
4 jumbo blue chromis
2 Large Mated Sebae Clowns

a seperate tank in the house cross contaminated my QT and i lost both the clowns and 2 chromis in a matter of days.
it looked like brook and ich at the same time.

as soon as the Cupramine went in the tank everyone looked and acted like normal. eating like pigs and very active.

the bottle suggest 14days but i wanted to see how long everyone uses it for ?

it was day 14 yesterday.

Thanks, Randy~

"Note that while Seachem recommend treatment for 14 days, 21 days ensure there are no tomonts that outlast the copper treatment, producing theronts or dinospores at the time when the copper concentration is too low to kill them"

Remember that if your show tank was infected you should leave that without fish for about 5 weeks.

thanks,
the tank that was infected has been w/o fish for almost 6 weeks now,...and we are transferring everything into a new 120 slowly but surely.

Your choice .. but as indicated 3 weeks (21 day) treatment is what I would use.

Good luck.
