I know I posted this before, and it was answered, but something just isn’t adding up in my head.
I understand if you use two qt tanks, you can put fish in tank one, rev up copper, and after 14 days remove it to clean tank 2. Similar to process of ttm, the ich will fall of fish during that two weeks, and not be able to plant and reproduce.
All ich would have that fallen off before copper was brought up, wouldn’t be able to come up to fish during the two week therapeutic copper. Once the copper is high enough, anything coming off the fish to encyst would be killed by copper.
Once it goes into tank 2, bring it was sterile, nothing would be there to hatch out and attack fish, and the fish wouldn’t be able to drop anymore off because of that 2 week period in copper prior.
But if you have one tank, in my instance a dt, that was at therepeutic level prior to fish going in, then nothing would have been there to hatch out, being there was copper in place already, and same concept applies to fish places in the high level of copper, and 14 days after, anything that falls
Off would succomb to the copper.
So I guess my question is, if copper was at ther level before fish entered, so there’s no chance of become a cyst, and you hold it their for 14 days , so any ich or velvet on fish that would fall of would be hit by ther levels, how come it’s advised to run 30 days?
There wouldn’t be any eggs or cyst lying in wait to hatch and grab a fish, just thing to I’ll what might fall off the first two weeks they are place in 2.0 copper
I have some fish in there that have been in copper going on 90 days , and would like to end it sooner than later to get them out of there.
The last 3 fish I added were two weeks ago come Saturday, this was all done prophylactically .
Thank you in advance
