Solo77 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 dose copper does help but then, hope you dont copperise yr main tank...., heard hard to get ride and keeping coral may have problem....however, if every now and then, you catch them for copper treatment, i think too cumbersome. Me also not successful in keeping them but i think they cant take much stress and like to have ample swimming space.....hence, for me, will try to introduce them first for my new tank...will get small one......once they stable...will corner them and segregate my tank and introduce my existing livestock......and release them after the agression lessen.....yet to try....lol. Better hear from those experts who got experience....

Will add to my main tank 2 weeks after copper treatment. Kana itch b4 so now very scare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Morpheous Posted July 24, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted July 24, 2009 I always hypo the tank as the 1st measure. Medication is always the last resort. Moreover it works most of the time unless u are really unluckily to encounter a low salinity resistant ick, and most of the time, its actually velvet which i mistook for ick. Since u have quarantine tank, no harm monitoring for a longer period of time.
