Review: Seachem 2 Pack Cupramine Copper 250ml
Cupramine Copper 250ml by Seachem is a highly effective and safe treatment for various ectoparasites in both freshwater and marine fish. This product is superior to other copper treatments on the market, such as copper sulfate, chloride, and citrate. It offers several advantages that make it the go-to choice for fish owners looking to eradicate Oodinium, Cryptocaryon, Amyloodinium, Ichthyophthirius, and other similar parasites.
One of the standout features of Cupramine is its non-acidic nature. Unlike other copper treatments, Cupramine is less toxic to fish and does not contaminate the filter bed. This is a significant advantage as it ensures the well-being of your fish while effectively eliminating parasites. Additionally, Cupramine remains in solution, making it easier to administer and monitor its dosage.
Another key advantage of Cupramine is its ionic charge. This makes it highly active even at low concentrations, allowing for a more targeted treatment approach. Furthermore, Cupramine can be easily removed with carbon filtration, providing a convenient and efficient way to eliminate the copper from the water once the treatment is complete.
The concentration gap between the minimal therapeutic dose (0.2 mg/L) and the toxic dose (0.8 mg/L) is more than four-fold. This means that when used correctly, Cupramine offers a wide margin of safety for your fish. However, it is essential to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the well-being of your aquatic pets.
It is worth noting that Cupramine is recommended for the treatment of certain diseases in both marine and freshwater fish only. It is not suitable for use in aquariums containing invertebrates, corals, crustaceans, or elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). If you have a mixed tank with these species, it is crucial to consider alternative treatment options.
