Copper Power Blue (Marine) 1 Gallon by Endich is a highly stable, chelated copper medication designed to treat and prevent external parasites (like Ich and Oodinium) in saltwater fish. It is prized for its low toxicity and resistance to precipitating out of the water.
Key Specifications & Dosing
Treatment Target: Marine Ich, Velvet, and fungus.
Target Concentration: 2.5 ppm.
Standard Dosage: 1 fl. oz. per 20 gallons of water.
Precipitation Rate: Incredibly low at 0.01 mg/l/24hr, meaning it remains active in the water column for months.
Critical Warnings
Invertebrates: Copper is deadly to all invertebrates. Never use this in a reef tank or any system with corals, snails, or shrimp.
Hospital Tanks Required: Always treat fish in a bare-bottom quarantine tank.
Sensitive Species: While safe for most saltwater fish, ensure you verify that your specific species (like certain wrasses or sharks) can tolerate copper.
