Cupramine™ is superior to copper sulfate, chloride & citrate: it is non-acidic, less toxic to fish, remains in solution, and does not contaminate the filter bed.
It is superior to chelates:
it is fully charged (ionic), and active at low concentrations, and is removable with carbon.
Directions:
- Remove all invertebrates.
- Turn off UV sterilizer; remove chemical filtration.
- Use 1 mL (top mark of enclosed dispenser) per 40 L (10.5 gallons*) the first day, wait 48 hours, then repeat for a total dose of 0.5 mg/L (in freshwater, use half dose).
- Leave at this concentration for 14 days.
- Do not redose without testing (MultiTest: Copper™).
- Do not use in conjunction with any other medication.
- If tank has ever been treated with an ionic copper (e.g. copper chloride, sulfate or citrate), test copper level after initial dosing.
- Although most fish tolerate Cupramine™ to 0.8 mg/L, it is not advisable to exceed 0.6 mg/L copper.
- Remove with carbon or CupriSorb™.
