Mixing Coppersafe and Copperpower

[TJustice86]

Twoish weeks into QT and my Coppersafe bottle is running low. I recently bought a big bottle of Copperpower without thinking about whether or not I could mix the two during water changes.

So can I treat the new water with copperpower to 2.5 ppm and perform water changes with that when the water currently in the tank was treated with coppersafe? I am not in a huge hurry as I have enough coppersafe for at least two more water changes, and I can easily purchase enough coppersafe to get through this QT.

Absolutely you can. Both share the same therapeutic level 2.5 and are safer than ionic copper as both are chelated copper. Just be sure to use the Hanna copper test kit to confirm your copper level.
I find Coppersafe to be more diluted making it at times hard to tell true number whereas Copper Power is more reliable in many cases. Coppersafe however my choice when treating tangs and wrasses and even puffers

That's what I assumed, but thought I would make sure before it came to the point I was out of Coppersafe.

Thanks!
