    That's good to hear. Did you dose the recommended amount or lower?

    I followed the directions on the bottle dosing wise. For the first 2 weeks I added more coppersafe as I did water changes, and after that I stopped to let it thin itself out. I also picked up a $10 API copper test kit that really helped me keep everything in check while I was medicating.

    Sounds good dude. The yellow tang and coral beauty started picking at the nori so that's good. I think I'll dose the meds tomorrow.

    my powder blue has got ich now. it sucks. my biggest problem is that i have allot of coral so i cant risk treating my tank and there is no way i could catch my fish. so i just have to sit and watch. i am adding a 30w U.V. on friday.

    Yeah catching my fish was a pain, I had to tear down my rock work. I wish you luck curing the ich on your fish.

    All fish were eating in the HT so I dosed the tank with with the copper treatment about 5 mins ago. I hope they don't lose their appetite because of the copper.
