Copper and nems

[breaknrun911]

I have a FOWLR tank and I will be dosing it with copper. I have three sand nems in there. I have done some reading and research says that inverts don't like copper levels. But on my research on nems it doesn't say what levels they can handle. Any one know and can give me some insight??

They will die, remove them

If you plan on putting them back in the tank, do NOT dose it with copper. It is extremely difficult to fully remove copper from a system.

What is your reason from dosing copper?

 

[breaknrun911]

I have a separate tank they will be going to. The reason I'm dosing is kick ich and rally is not working on the the ich. I really don't trust myself with hypo unless there is another remedy to getting rid of it

You could still use copper, just use it in a hospital tank, and not your main tank.
I would do my best not to treat the main tank.

There is also the "tank transfer method" that is suppose to be really effective. I do not know much more about it, however.

"The tank transfer method" is that street term? Or is that something I can find on here?

I would do a google search for "tank transfer method ich" plenty of results. I personally haven't used it, so this is my limit of knowledge about the subject.
