coppersafe

[trickle25]

well my fish have ich and i decided to go with coppersafe cause thats what they gave me at the lfs....so i added the recomended dosage ..and it says to wait 30 days now do i just add the coppersafe once at the begining or keep adding more every few days...the directions didnt mention how often to add ?
would love some help on this ..before i screw up again

What sort of tank are you using this on? Reef? Fish only?

 

[trickle25]

its fish only with lr and ls

Well, the copper will bascially RUIN the LR and the LS which you proabably paid a lot of money for. I would suggest not to use anymore.
Better to use some reef safe ich med then copper....though they aren't very reliable. In your situation, you really need QT the fish and treat them---either with copper, or hyposalinity.
