How long does it take for cupramine to go away ?

Ive had 2 emperor 400s full with their media baskets and a bag of cuprisorb. And even a media bag hanging by a powder head for a week now.

My cupramine levels are still about .2ppm. It was like .4 at its highest. I did a 30% watee change too in the beggining.

The cuprisorb bag isnt even changing colors to blue like seachen says it will so i dunno if its working. Could the carbon be exhausted already ? Its about 2 cups worth a carbon almost so i dont see how.. but the levels dont seem to be dropping anymore.

And im wondering if this is why my fish are breathing heavier..

So tea just curious should i change the carbon out or does it take longer . Its a 135 gallon tank.
 
Cuprisorb is more effective in a media reactor. When used in a HOB, most of the water just goes around the media.
