Copper or hypo for ich

[Ms0099rg]

I have a 20 gallon that was used for copper. It's a tang I will treating. I am leaning toarwds copper because I won't be home for 2 to 3 days. And my wife is not the greatest with the reefing.



Thanks guys

If you go with copper and if you leave it alone for awhile, make sure you teach your wife how to top off and check the copper level. if water evaporates, copper stays in the tank and level will increase. very easy to overdose your fish with copper and kill them while you are gone. hypo is better, because all evaporation does is increase salinity a bit. still has to check on fish and make sure they don't get stressed out and die.

+1 on hypo. I had great success with hypo. I recall your suppose to lower the salinity over a week anyways correct?

Hypo works best for me.You can call me and I can walk you through if you need help.
