i just start a cupramine treatment i put the first dose in 30 hours ago and waiting for 48 hours to add second dose. to get it up to0.5mg/l
my question is how long do i do the treatment on the fish to get rid of the ich. have a coral bueaty and socpa tang in the tank now. they have a light case of ich only 5-6 white spots on each
also would a uv sterilizer help in display tank tank is 125gl fish and live rock(approx 75lb) no coral yet has a cleanup crew of snails,crabs fish in tank 4 damsils, sturgoen tang,,porkfish(baby 1 in long), and decorated goby
tank is 3 months old i'm useing an marineland 350pro with bio wheels for filtration. have protein skimmer , refactometer, refugium on order should be here end of next week(may put refugium on my smaller reef tank( it is an 14'' hob refugium)is this to small for a 40gl tank

So, hopefully, you are not putting the copper in the display tank, right?
After all signs of ich have disappeared from the fish, continue the treatment for 3 weeks, testing copper levels daily and maintaining the therapeutics dose.
