Is 2.25 ppm copper power too much?

[QuarantinedCorals]

Hi guys, I got a 40gallon qt that’s measuring at 2.25ppm copper (dosed copper power and checked with Hanna). I just started the 30 day countdown yesterday as I plan on keeping them in copper for at least 30 days to kill off the ich. Is 2.25 too much? Should I be worried about keeping them in 2.25 for 30 days?

I shoot for 2.25 myself.

It’s recommended from Copper power to use its product at 2.5. So 2.25 is in between where I keep mine at 2.0 and 2.5. I think you’ll be ok as copper power isn’t as harsh as other copper treatments.

That’s great to hear thanks a lot, only thing I was worried about is that I have 2 fairy wrasses, a radiant wrasse, and a leopard wrasse in qt so I didn’t want it to be too harsh on them.
