I have completed a 30 day treatment of copper which was at .78 ppm (hanna checker.) Copper read .5 on salifert test. Would doing a 70% water change stress fish by removing copper too fast? I understand you need to increase copper dose slowly but should you lower it slowly?
 
Do the biggest water change you can, and then run Cuprisorb.

I made the mistake of only doing 50% changes thinking it would bother the fish. Wasted so much salt and time.

I did a 80% water change and copper is now down to .18. I will pick up some cuprisorb from LFS tmrw :).
