Dosing Cupramine With Substrate in System?

[tanglovers]

Hi All,

How much does sand and rock effect the dosage of cupramine? How much does it leach back out and effect your copper parameters?

I am considering treating all my fish while in their holding tank but there is sand in there. I realize all sand would be killed / useless.

Thanks!

You will not be succesful using cupramine with ANY calcium carbonate based substrate..
That goes for all other forms of copper also..

Alright I was kind of figuring it would not work but wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks!
