Copper power problem w/ my qt.. Help please!

It doesn't hurt to keep the skimmer on. I have and it's pulling out some really thick gunk. Yes, you should feed your tank lightly once or twice a week to keep the bacteria and clean up crew fed.

Ok thanks.

I think the green is just a different brand but it's also chelated copper just like in the blue copper power. I have no experience with the green

When you use copper power how long do you keep it up until you start lowering the copper level? Im keeping them in the qt for a few months so should i keep dosing or just do it for 30 days?

I keep them at full strength for the 30 days then after I just keep doing water changes but don't add the copper to the fresh saltwater. It will take awhile to get the copper out the water so you'll still have some levels in your water
