Triton detox to remove Cupramine

[ayrton]

Hello, I would like to know if I can use Triton Detox to quickly remove Seachem copper "Cupramine" from my FOWLR tank?
Seachem reccomend to not use their water conditioner "Prime" because, like all water conditioners, is a reducing agent, it has the potential to reduce the Cupramine from the safe Cu2+ form to a very toxic Cu+ form.
I think Detox is a chelating agent so I afraid to change copper in "Cupramine" from Cu++ to Cu+!
Do you think the use of Detox with Cupramine could be dangerous for my fishes health?
Thank a lot for your support

Polypads will absorb copper & change color to show it.

I would look at the PolyPads or CupraSorb first. The description of Detox doesn't include anything that would immediately bring to mind a reducing agent, but I can't be sure. The companies generally keep the contents of such products a trade secret. Given that CupraSorb and PolyPads are known to be safe for this purpose, I'd start there, if those products were available.
