Seachem - Cupramine Buffered Active Copper 3.4oz

Description:

Cupramine is a copper-based medication designed to treat external parasites in marine and freshwater aquariums. It provides a safe and effective therapeutic copper concentration, with a wide margin between the minimal therapeutic dose and toxic levels to help reduce the risk of accidental overdosing. Cupramine is removed from the aquarium using carbon or Seachem CupriSorb, ensuring the tank can return to normal after treatment.

Usage Guidelines:

• Before Treatment: Remove all invertebrates and turn off UV, ozone, and chemical filtration. Do not use with other medications or reducing agents.

• Treatment: For dropper bottles, use 20 drops (1 mL) per 40 L (10.5 US gallons) on day one, repeat after 48 hours. Freshwater requires half dose. Maintain 0.5 mg/L copper (0.25 mg/L freshwater) for 14 days. Test copper levels before redosing if tank has prior copper treatment.

• After Treatment: Remove copper using carbon or CupriSorb for at least one week to ensure all traces are eliminated.
