Cupramine level in qt question.

[Peepers]

So, I'm bringing my qt up to the .5 level with cupramine and Hanna checker. It got to high, so I had to pull water out and dilute. Now I'm at .4 but I'm out of the couple packets that come with the checker. More on way but won't be here for two days.

My question is, will it at least start to help or stop progression of ich if I put him in at .4?
He's starting to look rough. He's still eating but looks terrible and just keeps having cleaner shrimp groom him.

Your other thread was just answered. While I understand your urgency, please refrain from cross posting as we have others awaiting answers and this takes oppurtunity for answers from them.

Cupramine needs to be at least 0.50. See your otherpost which gave you specific details, but do put your fish in.
