Mardel CopperSafe Fish Treatment (Freshwater/Saltwater), 16-Ounce

This stuff is great. I don't consider it a treatment as in only use when your fish is infected. I use this more as a preventive. Meaning I use this all of the time with my fish. Granted I usually keep Cichlid fish that are more hardy than most fish. I feed my fish lots of live food so keeping my fish free from parasites is a must. Coppersafe is pretty safe on fish that aren't sensitive or delicate. Yes if your water supply is heavy on copper you do need to watch out. The below user who rated this at 2 stars may live in an area where his local water supply is polluted with copper. I usually use 75% of the recommended dose as to keep from overdosing. Testing your water for copper is recommend wether or not your using Copper Safe. Bottom line is I've been doing this for years and my father before I used Copper Safe before my birth and this is some damed good stuff.

If used as directed, it does keep the nasties out of the fish tank. I have been using it for years, and it always helped. Read the instructions carefully before applying. It helps to estimate how much volume of the fish tank is taken up by gravel and ornaments, because if one does not consider that, it is easy to overdose. Adjust the quantity of CopperSafe, considering the volume that is NOT water.

I have been using copper safe for years because it's such a great value in my opinion. It lasts and works for 30 days, so you can add fish to the aquarium while the tank is being treated to ensure you are not bringing more problems into the tank. I also like it because it removes chlorine and the filters do not have to come out as long as the filters with carbon are older than 5 days. The larger size it the best value for me as I have many larger tanks and the special design in the bottle makes it easier to measure and keep track. Although it is blue in color, it does NOT change the color of the water in the tank. Copper safe gets rid of a lot of diseases for your fish especially the most common ICK or white spot disease. I hope this helps my fellow aquarium enthusiests, Enjoy! :)

This product is effective but lacks a bunch of information. I used this product throughout a 2 week ich battle. This medicine is very effective, combined with salt, heat treatment and 25% water changes. The white spots on my tetras were disappearing every 2-3 days until the 2nd week it was all gone.

This product claims not to affect your biological filter or alter your water levels. When using this, my water levels never changed and my tank remained perfectly cycled. It only raised my pH a little bit. It is still a good idea to test and monitor your water during treatment.

Copper is a STRONG medication, be very careful not to overdose. Before starting your treatment it is best to get some paper and record the start of your treatment and how much you have been dosing your aquarium.

You will want to do a 25% water change before the treatment. Once accomplished, Use half the recommended dose of copper and monitor your fish for atleast an hour before adding more. If they start showing signs of stress, immediately do a water change but if they are acting normal use the full recommended dose. It is important to use the full dosage if possible to maximize the strength of the medication for killing ich parasites which will be a pain to get rid of the longer they stay alive.

Once you notice a couple white spots disappearing, it's very important to do a 25% water change to remove the ich in its free swimming stage. Don't forget to replace the copper medicine each water change.

To maximize effectiveness, you should turn up the heat slowly 1-2 degrees every hour until you reach a temperature of 85-88 degrees. If your fish are gasping for air the temp is too high. Add 1 Tablespoon of aquarium salt per 10 gallons of water will also help your fish relax and breath properly during treatment.

Warning: Do not use salt if your fish are scaleless. That goes for catfish, loaches etc. (Do research on your fish)

To those who read this, please let me know if my review was helpful at all. Thanks!
