Hi all,
I am using Madrel's CopperSafe treatment in a quarantine tank to treat a mild case of ich on a new arriviving powder blue tang.
I have never used coppersafe before and was wondering what other's experience has been with this product. There is no specified target PPM on the label, but I found reccommended dose concentrations on the web of 1.5 ppm to 2.0 ppm.
I started out with half the recommended dose for my tank and tested the Cu levels and found the levels to be ~.25 ppm (slightly lower).
At this point I do not plan to deviate from the instructions on the box, therefore based on my initial dose my final medicating dose in the tank will probably be around .5 ppm.
I am not sure why the target dose is so far from the dose I am expecting to see per the instructions on the box..... what gives!
