  1. My tank parameters,

    Taken 3rd March,

    Ammonia 0

    No3 0

    KH 8.6

    Mg 1200

    Calcium 400

    PO4 0.03

    Ph 8.2

    10 March

    Ammonia 0

    No3 0

    KH 6.1 (Tested 3 times w Salifert)

    Mg 1140

    Calcium 420

    PO4 0.03

    Ph 8.2

    Realised KH dropped significantly, however, SPS, LPS all doing great.

    Any idea why this is happenening? PH is stable..

  2. Remove the carbon during copper treatment. If not, the carbon will absorb the copper, Slowly increase the copper level by dosing a bit every days to prevent stress to the fish. It takes more dose, as it is absorbed by the sand and rock. Once reached the desired level, I suggest maintain this level for 14 days before decreasing slowly through water change.
    No sand, rock, carbon. Guess i have to trust my API test kit.
  3. I'm using JBL copper testkit not sure how accurate but giving very consistent reading every time ... If u have LR , sand , bioring etc will adsorb copper and need dose atleast 2x or more from the instruction from Seachem cuppramine to reach 0.45mg from JBL testkit reading ... from my observation under copper treatment , the whitespot still appear on fish body and when the whitespot go off will come back 2nd time about 7~10 days if the copper level at 0.2~0.3mg but will not come back at the 3rd time so assume ich life cycle is 7~10 days under 27C ... if 0.45mg that will not come back 2nd time ... Tested Morish Idol can not survive more than 0.2mg and multibar drawf angel too ... not sure how accurate JBL testkit but i use it as reference because salifert testkit not consistent and some time useless even b4 expiry ...
    Did not dose since yesterday but measured 3rd time 0 for copper. Going to dose more and crossed my fingers.
  4. Add the copper slowly over a few day of possible so as not to cause too much stress to your fish. Once the correct dose achieve, the white spot should be done on day 3 or 4. But I would maintain it for another 2 day to be sure.

    Puzzled as my api copper test is still showing 0??

    Does seachem cupramine contain copper?

    Should i get another test kit?

    thanks.

  5. Need some help, i bought a purple tang and qt for 3 weeks with no signs. Added 2 clowns and a mandarin as i was transferring tanks. Found some white spots appearing on my PT after so started paraguard. On the 3rd day, the pt starts developing more spots and couple of lateral lines across the body. PT is eating well but darts around. I have changed out 80% of water and added carbon yesterday. Is it safe to add in cupramine today?
    Added in cupramine according to instruction but copper test results shows 0. Added 20% more.
