Coppersafe

[Pet Detective]

Mr. Holmes-Farley, quick question for you, will the chelated copper in coppersafe break down over time rendering it useless??? I have some that are several years old and can find no expiration date, one bottle has never even been opened, still has factory seal, I have a stellar parasite outbreak in my 225g Saltwater Angel tank and I need to begin treatment quickly.
All opinions and information are of course welcome, I just addressed Randy because I know he WILL know for sure the answer.

Thank you

Yes, but I have no idea how long that takes. It might be stable a very long time in a closed bottle.

Thanks Randy, that was my first guess as well, but for me it was truly a guess, I'm going to use it then, hopefully with good results.

I think that's a reasonable approach.

Follow up...the Coppersafe was effective even after years of sitting idle in the closed container, parasites gone, fish happy.
