[panchito]

Trey i'll send you a check. Well I purchased 2 new fish last weekened a maroon clown and a baby niger trigger. I quarantined (ofcourse) and like 2 days ago i noticed little white spots I think it is marine velvet (little sugar dust like dots) anyway I am using coppersafe I put in like 2 and 1/2 cap full for my 10 gallon h/t, my ? is what level should I keep it @ and how long do I leave it in? I read the instruction but they sucked.
Thanks

I'm not Trey but, I use copper safe when I medicate. I try to maintain the level at about 3-4 ppm. Don't go over 4ppm or it will really mess up your fish. I did it accidently. It is kinda touchy, 3ppm is not quite enough, and four is almost too much. You may try a fresh water dip and then maricyn or maricyn 2. After treating copper I always follow it with maricyn for about 5 days. It is a pain, but I've saved a few fish this way. I treat copper for 10-14 days depending on the amount of gunk on the fish. Hope it goes well.

Thanks for your response, yeah I had trouble bringing the level down I did like 3 water changes and would not come down from .6 I put in some carbon to try to take some out. they are doing pretty good now
