{"product_id":"seachem-cupramine","title":"SEACHEM CUPRAMINE","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCupramine effectively eradicates oodinium, cryptocaryon, amyloodinium, ichthyophthirius, and other ectoparasites of both freshwater and marine fish. It is superior to copper sulfate, chloride and citrate: it is non-acidic, less toxic to fish, remains in solution, and does not contaminate the filter bed. It is superior to chelates: it is fully charged (ionic), active at low concentrations, and is removable with carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKEY FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCopper treatment for external parasites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eActive at low concentration (does not precipitate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBound on amine so it is not as toxic to fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100% Removable with carbon or Cuprisorb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDIRECTIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBefore Treating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to copper and will not tolerate treatment with a copper-based medication. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like Matrix Carbon and Purigen. Do not use in conjunction with any other medication. Do not use any products which contain reducing agents (conditioners, ammonia binders, etc.) while using Cupramine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTreatment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf the bottle has a dropper cap, use 20 drops (1mL) per 40L (10.5 US gallons) the first day, wait 48 hours, then repeat. On non-dropper caps, each inner ring is 1mL. In freshwater use half dose. Final copper concentration is 0.5 mg\/L (0.25 mg\/L in freshwater). Leave at this concentration for 14 days. Do not redose without testing. If tank has ever been treated with an ionic copper (e.g. copper chloride, sulfate or citrate), test copper level after initial dosing. Although most fish tolerate Cupramine to 0.8 mg\/L, it is not advisable to exceed 0.6 mg\/L copper.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish the Full Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIch, velvet, and many other parasites spend a large portion of their life cycle as a cyst that is immune to medication and hiding in the substrate of your tank.
