    chewing tang

    okay thanks Lee. I used the copper because I don't have a refractormeter. I hate using meds in general because of my experience with it and freshwater fish, but the ick on the tang was getting really bad.

    chewing tang

    I have a 125g 6foot long tank, But the fish have just under gone a copper treatment for ick. They have only been back in the tank for 2 weeks. I treated them with coppersafe for a month and left the main tank fallow 7 1/2 weeks. There are no signs of ick so far.

    treating w/coppersafe HELP!!!!!

    The test kit I used said it was for chelated copper. The coppersafe didn't even say you need to test for levels. It seem like these companies should be held accountable for not stating clear or full instructions. Why don't they have to warn about the side effects?:mad:
