Water changes in QT to keep Ammonia low

[Zatai41]

Hello everyone

How do you keep ammonia in chek in qt with copper in it ? only water changes ?
It's a 45G QT for a ~6inch Achilles. I have a Seneye to monitor ammonia/PH/Temp

-What % water change should I perform & how often ?
-Is it a good idea to reuse water from my main display to change water (Phos 0.01 & nitrates are <2 on my display)

Thanks is advance!

I predose my QTs with biospira in order to have a biofilter in tact that will process the ammonia. It will still establish a working biofilter in the presence of copper.
