Anyone ever use "Copper Power" to treat Ich?

[nam2212]

I set up a quarantine tank today for my 2 clowns and a clown goby that have Ich. I followed the directions on the bottle for dosing the copper. I am using it because a very reliable LFS owner near me recommended it. I was just wondering if anyone else had given it a shot. Also, how often should I perform water changes on the QT tank? There is nothing in it but a couple of PVC elbows for the fish to hide in. Thanks.

I have used Copper Power in the past. It had decent results. I recommend testing your CU+ levels often during treatment. I also would keep it @ 0.20ppm for 2 weeks. Copper is theraputic @ 0.15ppm, don't go above 0.25ppm and you should be safe.
