Description
Cupramine 500 mlCupramine is highly effective in eliminating oodinium, cryptocaryon, amyloodinium, ichthyophthirius, and various ectoparasites affecting both freshwater and marine fish. It outperforms copper sulfate, chloride, and citrate by being non acidic, less harmful to fish, remaining in solution, and not contaminating the filter bed. Additionally, it surpasses chelates, as it is fully charged (ionic), remains effective at low concentrations, and can be removed
Cupramine is highly effective in eliminating oodinium, cryptocaryon, amyloodinium, ichthyophthirius, and various ectoparasites affecting both freshwater and marine fish. It outperforms copper sulfate, chloride, and citrate by being non-acidic, less harmful to fish, remaining in solution, and not contaminating the filter bed. Additionally, it surpasses chelates, as it is fully charged (ionic), remains effective at low concentrations, and can be removed using carbon.
KEY FEATURES:
- Copper treatment for external parasites
- Effective at low concentration (does not precipitate)
- Bound on amine, making it less toxic to fish
- Completely removable with carbon or Cuprisorb
DIRECTIONS:
Before Treatment
Remove all invertebrates, as they are very sensitive to copper and cannot withstand treatment with copper-based medications. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove any chemical filtration such as MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Avoid using this product in combination with any other medication. Do not apply any products containing reducing agents (conditioners, ammonia binders, etc.) while using Cupramine.
Treatment
If the bottle comes with a dropper cap, administer 20 drops (1mL) per 40L (10.5 US gallons) on the first day, then wait 48 hours before repeating. For bottles without dropper caps, each inner ring corresponds to 1mL. In freshwater, use half the dose. The final copper concentration should be 0.5 mg/L (0.25 mg/L in freshwater). Maintain this concentration for 14 days. Do not re-dose without conducting a test first. If the tank has previously been treated with ionic copper (e.g., copper chloride, sulfate, or citrate), check the copper levels after the initial dose. While most fish can tolerate Cupramine up to 0.8 mg/L, it is not recommended to exceed 0.6 mg/L of copper.
Complete the Full Treatment
Ich, velvet, and many other parasites exist in a cyst stage that is resistant to medication and hides in the substrate of your tank for a significant part of their life cycle. It’s crucial to complete the entire treatment even if you do not see any parasites on the fish!
After Treatment
Cupramine can be eliminated using carbon. Keep the copper-absorbing media in your tank for at least one week after the copper concentration has dropped to 0, to ensure that all traces of the medication are fully eliminated.
