never used it, but make sure u take all of the liverocks out. the copper will contaminate them.

I have used Cupramine before in a QT tank to treat Ich.
Some suggestions:
1. Do not use around inverts or live rock
2. Get the Seachem test kit for the cupramine and test the level daily
3. There is much debate about copper being able to get into silicon, etc.
so many people do not put any live rock or inverts in any tank that has
had a copper product used in it.
Good luck!

Do not use Cupramine without using a copper test kit specific for Cupramine.You cannot rely on the directions to get an accurate dosage. Also... puffers do not tolerate copper very well. You should go to the disease forum and read about hyposalinity which is a better treatment, IMHO, for ich.
