Cupramine

Initial Setup:

1. Preparation:

   • Remove Invertebrates: Before starting treatment, remove all invertebrates from the tank as they are highly sensitive to copper.
   • Turn Off Filters: Disable UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration media like MatrixCarbon and Purigen.

2. Dosing:

   • Calculate Dosage: Use 20 drops (1 mL) per 40 liters (10.5 US gallons) of water on the first day.
   • Repeat Dose: After 48 hours, repeat the dose. The final copper concentration should be 0.5 mg/L for saltwater and 0.25 mg/L for freshwater.

3. Monitoring:

   • Test Copper Levels: Use a reliable copper test kit (e.g., Salifert Copper) to ensure the correct copper concentration is maintained.
   • Maintain Concentration: Keep the copper concentration stable for the full treatment period of 14 days.

Maintenance:

1. Regular Monitoring:

   • Test Water Parameters: Regularly test your aquarium water for copper levels to ensure they remain within the therapeutic range.
   • Adjust Dosage: If copper levels drop, add more Cupramine to maintain the correct concentration.

2. Post-Treatment:

   • Remove Copper: After completing the treatment, use activated carbon or Seachem CupriSorb to remove any remaining copper from the water.
   • Monitor Fish: Observe your fish for any signs of stress or recurring infection. If necessary, repeat the treatment after a break.

3. Water Changes:

   • Routine Maintenance: Perform regular water changes to maintain water quality. During water changes, ensure that the copper concentration remains stable by testing and adjusting as needed.

4. Safety Tips:

   • Avoid Overdosing: Do not exceed the recommended copper concentration, as high levels can be toxic to fish.
   • Handle with Care: In case of eye exposure, promptly and thoroughly wash eyes with water and seek medical attention.
