Seachem Cupramine™ effectively eradicates Oodinium, Cryptocaryon, Amyloodinium, Ichthyophthirius, and other ectoparasites of both freshwater and marine fish. It is superior to copper sulfate, chloride & citrate. It is non-acidic, less toxic to fish, remains in solution, and does not contaminate the filter bed. It is superior to chelates, it is fully charged (ionic), active at low concentrations, and is removable with carbon
Directions: Remove all invertebrates. Turn off UV sterilizer; remove chemical filtration. If the bottle has a dropper cap, use 16 drops (1 mL) per 40 L the first day, wait 48 hours, then repeat. On non-dropper caps, each inner ring is 1 mL. tIn freshwater use half dose. Final copper concentration is 0.5 mg/L (0.25 mg/L in freshwater). Leave at this concentration for 14 days
Do not redose without testing
Do not use in conjunction with any other medication
If tank has ever been treated with an ionic copper (e.g. copper chloride, sulfate or citrate), test copper level after initial dosing. Although most fish tolerate Cupramine™ to 0.8 mg/L, it is not advisable to exceed 0.6 mg/L copper. Remove with carbon or Seachem CupriSorb™
