I finished a 30 day copper treatment about 2 weeks ago. I did a 50% water change and brought the copper levels down to about .8. I then started running carbon. After about a week The copper levels were barely changed. i had uses some carbon from the LFS. Four days ago I got some Rox .8 carbon from BRS and started running that. It calls for 1 tbsp per 10 gallon. I used 2. Still today my copper tested at .74. Barely any change. I will do another 50% WC today and expect to bring the levels down to 1/4 therapeutic levels. At this point i am wondering if it's ok to run prazi? I also need to run Kanaplex to fix some tail issues but will do that after the prazi and another WC. Any suggestions?

It'd be better to do water changes, or use poly filters or cuprisorb to remove copper from the water.
