I believe copper (from what I have read) is the only remedy that everyone can agree to. There appear to be a bunch of over methods that seem to have support and detractors. I have also read you shouldn't do both at the same time.
Water changes and then use cuprisorb for any residual works best I think.
Thanks Jay! Every 2 weeks, or more frequently? I have the ability to do roughly 15 gallons / change before I'd have to replenish/make more marine water.
Oh, sorry, I meant more frequently than that. 25% a day for example. If you don’t have the system in place to do that, you’ll have to rely more on absorption and chemical mitigation methods. I like water changes because you get the added benefit of new water, and you are sure it is gone. However, the math works out that towards the end, you are changing water that you just changed, so the copper reduction becomes less efficient, then you turn to other methods.
Thank you Jay. I can reasonably change 15 gallons 2x per week. Should I add Cuprisorb on day 31 then?
Thank you! Today is day 30, so water change (10%) tomorrow, and Cuprisorb into the sump. I've been testing each morning and will continue until I read 0. Picking up a Hanna this week, because those color charts are a nightmare.
Thanks, great feedback!
