Using Chemicals on a regular basis

[240gallons]

Good Morning,
125 - Fish Only Fake Rock Tank

Anyone out there using Copper as a algaecide? What dose are you using? Although most fish tolerate Cupramineâ„¢ to 0.8 mg/L, it is not advisable to exceed 0.6 mg/L copper.
Im assuming something under 0.6 for maintenance.
(Cooper is the main ingredient in the stuff I put in my swimming pool)


Or Chemi-clean to break down organics?


What else are you dosing to maintain FO tanks?

Thanks

Chloroquine phosphate is a much better algaecide, and much less harsh than copper. If you have wrasse, pipefish, seahorse it shouldn’t be used
