Hypo and Copper treatment question

[phunkie99]

I have a sick clown in my QT that I planed on treating with Hypo and copper treatment (seacure) does it matter the order I do this in? i.e. copper first then drop SG? vise versa? start both at same time? HELP!!

thanks

I asked this same question in the disease forum a couple weeks ago and was strongly told NOT to do both treatments simultaneously. Do Either Hypo or Copper not both at the same time.

Don't do both it stresses the fish too much and could kill it.
I believe hypo also makes copper more toxic.
Depending on how bad it is would determine what procedure to use.If it's in bad shape I would opt for copper alone.

Is using copper the more tried and true method of treatment??

Just remember that if you do copper, then you would not be able to QT any corals in the future in that tank.

I learned this the hard way...

I would go with a hypo solution.. just remeber to do it slowly and not just drop it from say 1.025 to 1.010 with one water change.
