Questions & Answers

It is effective in killing snails and their eggs on plants, can it be used for that purpose?

If you are having a snail problem, don't use this. According to the EPA, Cooper is toxic to most organisms (depending on the concentration) and plants are extremely You could dip into potassium permanganate if you're concerned about safety.

Do you know how many gallons this treatment is supposed to ?

There is about 525 US gallons in 2,000 liters of water

What effect will it have on beneficial bacteria in filters or live rock in marine environments?

I don't think it makes any difference. It is possible that Cupramine will slightly retard the bacteria, but overall it is safe to use and will not negatively impact You are most likely getting a false reading of ammonia because Cupramine contains an organic amine that is very similar to ammonia, and a test kit is unlikely to be able to tell the difference Alternatively, you may want to try our MultiTest Free and Total Ammonia test that does not have this issue and will not make a false positive. If you would like to use our Ammonia Alert, which works on the same principle, it will only give the

My fish will get better if I treat the ick. My plants in the aquarium and my mystery snails will be killed if I use this approach?

Plants are not expected to survive. However, invertebrates will die.

In order to make sure that everything was going well, I treated one more time
5/5

It doesn't appear that there are any How do I get rid of the snails? This is the best purchase you can make! Having faced an infestation with few options to combat, I was unable to resolve it. Since I have live plants in an aquarium with fish, there is no way I can clean, rinse, sterilize, replant, and care for the plants all at once. The instructions are very important! Please read them carefully! With each cycle, I added between 20 and 30 drops in a 75 g tank. The number of snails in the tank drastically decreased after the first treatment. Within 96 hours, 90% of the snails were totally In order to make sure that everything was going well, I treated one more time. In the absence of snails, eggs, or anything that would indicate I have a snail problem (other than gnawed vegetation), I have no reason to be concerned. Neither the plants nor the fish appear to be sick. In my experience, I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone with that kind of a problem. I would definitely purchase it again if I needed to.

The method directed me to kill my fish, and all of them died
3/5

This worked as described exactly on a snail problem and in just a few hours I was able to eliminate 8 adults, 5 teens, and 3 new babies of However, it not only killed them, it did it slowly as well, so I tried to save them, but I was unsuccessful and had to watch them slowly swim upside down and sideways with their mouths open around 30 minutes before they finally passed away. There is a danger of this product killing It is a very powerful rabid snake that kills everything it touches, except yourself. Don't follow the directions because I did and now I'm dead inside.

If you have snail problems, buy a yo-yo. A loach or fish that eats snails is a yolach. I didn't have a snail problem for years and haven't had any snails since then.

The product does what it says! A 35 gal
5/5

freshwater tank so overrun with tiny snails it is almost unusable. Unfortunately, I had no luck with the assassin snails. I read a few reviews on this product, and decided to give it a try. I put the recommended amount in my tank and slugs started falling from the sides of the tank as soon as it was added! The time is about 2 minutes We still don't have any visible live snails after 3 hours! So far, no harm has been done to my fish. The last treatment will be given after 48 hours (recommended). You will not regret purchasing this product!.

A few changes need to be made to the directions
3/5

Make sure that you read all instructions before using this product. In the directions, it is also mentioned that half the dosage should be used in fresh water. It is important enough for it to be highlighted or emphasized first, or immediately following the saltwater dosage instructions, instead of being last on the list of Before learning that freshwater only requires half the amount of drops the recommended drops, I did the recommended drops. As soon as I see the results, I will update my rating, but so far I am disappointed that the instructions weren't written more carefully. A brief update This product still did not get rid of snails even at a higher dose than recommended. It was a good day because I did not lose any fish, even a small By hand or net, you can remove the snails more effectively.

5/5

In my 29 gallon aquarium, I had an overabundance of There are hundreds of them in different My tank was treated in the evening, and I saw most of the snails dead within a few hours. 48 hours after the second treatment, I did the third, and almost all of the others were dead as well. Although I am not sure how much of them this will get rid of, I am fine with some of them being There are a lot of people who feel strongly against using chemicals in aquariums, but they actually work. My surprise at how well it worked and my pleasure with it was great. Both my fish and I appeared to be unaffected by it. The fish in some of the other threads have not done very well, but mine have. I have a very basic setup with hearty species in my community tank. It is best not to use this for shrimp as well, since they will also die if you use this.

There is no doubt that this is an effective method
5/5

It was the first time I heard of it before I had to take I was able to treat ICH with this stuff, but I was at ease about it. Once a 20% water change has been made, then dosed. The bottle states that there are 5 PPM in this product. Three out of four Within five days, I could literally see ICH disappearing and every day that passed, I could no longer see it. It was a good day for fish since they were feeding and were really even continued to administer the treatment for an extra two weeks in order to get rid of To use this product, combine Aquarium Salt (1 tbsp per 5 gallons of water) and Imagitarium Parasite Remedy (Natural Parasite treatment non harmful to animals) with 1 tbsp of this product.

I like it a lot! In spite of people disbelieving in the positive effects of copper in treating sick fish (that have Marine velvet or Ich), copper is something that I feel is one of the best ways to aggressively attack these parasites before it You can have the fish back alive in a matter of days if you quarantine them within an hour of putting this product in the tank
5/5

This product is something I've seen myself, so I can recommend it. A few drops (depending on the size of your tank) for two or three days, and then wait a week to do it again Once you have taken the dose the next day, wait for another week and then take it again Good luck! I'm giving it one more try. However, it works for me every time.

API copper test kit can be used to test the copper
5/5

A copper API test kit is not able to test for cupramine, according to information I read online. Upon looking deeper, I noticed that people at Seachem had been offered answers that any copper test kit would Despite the fact that my API test kit did not test properly using cupramine, I took a chance and it did test. I hope this saves the next person from having to debunk the kit.
