copper power vs cupramine? | Reef2Reef
2018年12月7日 · Part of the reason, I think, is that the therapeutic range for chelated copper is pretty broad: 1.5-2.0. For ionic copper, it's 0.4-0.5, with a preferred level at 0.45. A bit of evaporation could send you into toxic ranges, a mis-measured top-off might have you below therapeutic. For me . . . chelated copper (Coppersafe, Copper Power) just works.
Ionic Copper Level | Reef2Reef
2017年7月6日 · This is my first time running a QT system. I did a lot of research showing that I need to maintain a level of 1.5 - 2.0 ppm copper.

The difference in copper types on wrasses | Reef2Reef
2006年7月22日 · I wanted to ask why chelated copper instead of ionic copper ( curpermine)? After reading the literature on cupermine ( now) it seems like a much better choice.

Copper treatment | Reef2Reef
2015年2月26日 · Cupramine (ionic copper) is "supposed" to be gentler on fish, but we are figuring out that is not true. Just a slick marketing ploy. The old way (chelated) seems to work better. You also have more wiggle room (therapeutic range) with chelated, and there are even anecdotal accounts of being able to use an ammonia reducer with Coppersafe.
Does ionic copper (seachem cupramine) be diluted from water by …
2023年12月20日 · Yes. Removing water with copper and replacing it with water that doesn’t have copper will absolutely dilute the concentration.

Copper Treatment Guide. | Reef2Reef
2023年11月7日 · Dr. Roy certainly knows his stuff, however, he is discussing IONIC copper, not amine-chelated copper. Ionic copper is more toxic and must be ramped up slowly. Amine-chelated copper is safer and should be dosed to 100% ASAP as it does take some time to work. We always suggest home aquarists use these - Coppersafe or Copper Power. Here is the ...
