Copper level?

What level is this?

Need to see from the top looking down.

You're somewhere between 1.0-2.0ppm. Keep raising it, slowly.

thanks. i want to be at 4?

If you're using Coppersafe, 2.0.

Copper Power = 2.5ppm

coppersafe. that is why you said slowly. sorry. I am a little slow today. thanks

I'm seeing dead on 1ppm...that's why I still use cupramine, I can't read this test kit [emoji23]

Haha I am trying cupramine again this time around. I go back and forth... I still like coppersafe better but anecdotally I feel like I lost more halichoeres wrasses in chelated copper than ionic.

I can't read Seachem's test kit FWIW . . . I'm trying the chelated copper/API kit this time! Your pic is very unreassuring as to determining levels <sobbing quietly> . . . why can't someone make a decent titration kit, like Salifert's alkalinity. I can see that!

 

[rich nyc]

What about now. Did a water change and re dosed

 

[Humblefish]

@Orm Embar I think this is what you're looking for, but it ain't cheap: https://www.chemetrics.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=392

@rich nyc You're getting a little closer, but still haven't reached 2.0ppm IMO.

 

[rich nyc]

Ugh they all look the same. Kind of reminds me when I was looking for perfume for my ex. They all begin to smell the same to me

 

[Humblefish]

I still don't think you're at 2.0

 

[rich nyc]

One more

 

[Humblefish]

That's very close. I would stop there and hold the line for 30 days.

 

[rich nyc]

Thanks @Humblefish

Lol I was right on with humblefish I'm glad you posted those picks I have a hard time reading seachems I can read api much easier thanks

Note to self: when using API's copper test kit, post the results on here to have some idea of levels

I'm using the same stuff. I just went with the mixing instructions and hope they know what they are talking about do. The test kit is a little hard to read and can be miss leading. If you get the levels to high you could harm the fish.
