keep that dosage for 4 weeks.
I think I read seachem saying they were going to change the directions to 3 wks, But 4 weeks is what most people do, because the cyst stage (unkillable) last 4 weeks on average.

and if it drops below .3 I think you should start the clock again.

Just make sure you follow the whole dose and wait 4 weeks after your done to observe them if you want to be safe.
I have multiple fish on their 3rd week and I have not seen any ich since the first day. I did see some scratching, but they are at .5 so I'm assuming flukes since there is no sign of anything else.

Dose, wait 48 hours, then repeat. This gets you to the concentration you need. You need to maintain this concentration for 4 weeks. So, anytime you do a WC, treat the new water with 4 drops of Cupramine per gallon before adding it to the QT. You also need a copper test kit (i.e. Salifert, Seachem) so you can test your copper level. It must stay above 0.35 mg/L for the 4 weeks.
