Copper test

Having a hard time reading this copper test...anyone with better eyes? Looks like 2 to me..

I would say 2+. Possibly 3.

Yea, it changes depending on the light too...pain in the butt, any danger? They are acting fine and eating
Thanks

Copper is a toxin, though I've had enough trouble reading that same test to get all the way to 4 ... but a partial water change would cover it.

10-4 thanks, was planning on a partial water change anyway

Add any copper you think you'll need to the water _before_ it enters the tank, and test after the change is done, to make sure you're where you want to be - you're golden.
