Purple tang weak

So for now we will completely stop adding copper, starting tomorrow we will start adding the cuprasorb haven't seen any spots on him at all the whole time. I think it would be safe to stop treatment at this point but lower it a little at a time would be better than just doing a massive change or just do the massive change and then add the cuprasorb?

I don't know how well cuprasorb works. Never used it. If it knocks it down over a day I don't think that would be a problem. Don't think you guys have a problem with either lower it by 100% or lower it slowly. As long as temp and salinity match.

During today's water change it was swimming to the surface and trying to spit water out.

That's called "piping" and is a common stress response in some species of fish.

I've never used it either. That's why I'm asking which would be better. I figure the waterchange will bring it down faster but the sorb will gradually bring it down. I just don't have the experience with it to know for sure
